I generally think of "Algorithm" as having to do with mathematics or computer-science and "Tree" has a very specific computer science meaning, so seeing just those words together wouldn't make me think of something very different than what your module does. I'd try to work in the idea of "shape" or "geometry" or something. Algorithm::Shape::RandomTree?
