Yeah, I understand that tkinter isn't really designed for 'logic is running'

Those three words/phrases strike a real discord.

Multithreading is not the same as multiprocessing. And you probably don't ever want to update a window with a different thread than the one that created it. Not that it can't be done, at least in some languages, but that it's real rat-hole of problems.

The extra thread or process (with different problems to each) should be doing the "logic is running" but NOT the gui.
