It seems quite promising, and visually interesting. I am still not sure how the choice of diameter can be determined so the negative holes and positive spheres can be flexibly compatible between different diameter and elevation gap dimensioning. Is it arranged in a way that different combination of holes/balls will sum up to the same unit dimension, so layering can be varied but still meet at certain levels? The choice of diameter seems to be very critical to make the system very logical and applicable - there shall be a unit distance so certain level can be interlocked together horizontally.
The horizontal joint (shaped like pack-man figure) seems too simple, and won't have too much of effect in grabbing two layers together. It is good that you are trying to carry certain similarity to the vertical joints, but it is not mechanically effective enough. I believe it shall really bite each other so both joint and horizontal layer won't move any direction (X, Y, X all in + and -). To make it happen, I believe the joint sphere shall have twisting and sliding to interlock plywood together, than just sliding downward as it is now.
Or, you can also think about combination joint for horizontal joint as well. Your vertical joint is a combination of 4 pieces fingerjointed together - they why not the horizontal joint to be a combination of 2 pieces fingerjointed together or something? sliding, and interlocking in certain condition may provide quite a tight locking system than just using one layer of joint. Please consider.
