This is clearly illegal in the US. Both under the ‘hacking’ laws as well as under laws prohibiting private citizens from interfering in international diplomacy. Really surprised such a thread is permitted on HN.

Turing’s diffusion/reaction algorithm involved this. As you intuited, it is a good system for making fractal-like designs and patterns. Cheetah spots, zebra stripes, maybe even 3D structures like capillaries... But, such a system can’t
