Piece Orientation

Defines the permissible geometric alignments for placing a rectangular Piece onto the algorithmic execution board.

The orientation dictates how the intrinsic dimensions of the piece map directly to the 2D matrix grid:

• HORIZONTAL: The piece maintains its native dimensions, extending x units across columns and y units down rows.
• VERTICAL: The piece's dimensions are mathematically transposed, extending y units across columns and x units down rows.
