Squarified Treemap Algorithm, Functionally

I'm preparing to implement the squarified treemap algorithm in an unfamiliar package, so I wanted a clear and complete description of the process. The original paper by Bruls, Huizing, and van Wijk is written procedurally and relies on global state.

I've written an extended explanation of the algorithm, but I've chosen to implement the algorithm in a functional manner. The code is in Mathematica, but should be readily adaptable to other functional languages like Schema, Scala, F#, or JavaScript/D3.
