Subdivision

recursive subdivision in the grid-painting look: repeated splits make unequal panels, a few take primary colors under heavy rules, and the picture re-rolls every few seconds (subdivide)

/// Recursive subdivision, the grid-painting look: the canvas splits across its
/// longer side at a random fraction, the pieces split again, and a coin
/// decides when each panel stops. Most panels stay paper-white; a few take a
/// primary color, and heavy dark rules separate them all. Every few seconds a
/// new seed re-rolls the whole composition.
