main

This module is the 'launcher' module for the program. Every other module in the program originates from this location.

If the user requests a 'reset' from the Main GUI, the program controlling 'StateMachine' module destroys itself, then, this module handles the launcing of a new instance of the program. This is made possible through the mutable result_container object which we can pass to other modules for them to modify, then read the result later.
