 Note that all submodules depend on the top-level `CryoGrid` module which declares all of the "core" types and [method interfaces](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/interfaces/) for defining model behavior. Each submodule may additionally define its own method interfaces related to its own specific process(es) or layer(s).
