	The compute thread likely would call wxPython's .callAfter() [which
queues an event for the main app to process -- probably a function to
update the grid] when it has computed a complete state update (and should
probably then wait on a Queue or other synchronization method, which the
main app would signal when it had consumed [displayed] the current state
data, before starting to compute the next grid pattern).
