		A Deep Dynamic Experimental Self-Organizing Neural Network
		Framework // Provides a fully native R deep learning framework
		for constructing, training, evaluating, and inspecting Deep
		Dynamic Ensemble Self Organizing Neural Networks at research
		scale. The core engine is an object oriented R6 class-based
		implementation with explicit control over layer layout,
		dimensional flow, forward propagation, back propagation, and
		transparent optimizer state updates. The framework does not
		rely on external deep learning back ends, enabling direct
		inspection of model state, reproducible numerical behavior, and
		fine grained architectural control without requiring compiled
		dependencies or graphics processing unit specific run times.
		Users can define dimension agnostic single layer or deep multi-
		layer networks without hard coded architecture limits, with per
		layer configuration vectors for activation functions,
		derivatives, dropout behavior, and initialization strategies
		automatically aligned to network depth through controlled
		replication or truncation. Reproducible workflows can be
		executed through high level helpers for fit, run, and predict
		across binary classification, multi-class classification, and
		regression modes. Training pipelines support optional self
		organization, adaptive learning rate behavior, and structured
		ensemble orchestration in which candidate models are evaluated
		under user specified performance metrics and selectively
		promoted or pruned to refine a primary ensemble, enabling
		controlled ensemble evolution over successive runs. Ensemble
		evaluation includes fused prediction strategies in which member
		outputs may be combined through weighted averaging, arithmetic
		averaging, or voting mechanisms to generate consolidated
		metrics for research level comparison and reproducible per-seed
		assessment. The framework supports multiple optimization
		approaches, including stochastic gradient descent, adaptive
		moment estimation, and look ahead methods, alongside
		configurable regularization controls such as L1, L2, and mixed
		penalties with separate weight and bias update logic.
		Evaluation features provide threshold tuning, relevance
		scoring, receiver operating characteristic and precision recall
		curve generation, area under curve computation, regression
		error diagnostics, and report ready metric outputs. The package
		also includes artifact path management, debug state utilities,
		structured run level metadata persistence capturing seeds,
		configuration states, thresholds, metrics, ensemble
		transitions, fused evaluation artifacts, and model identifiers,
		as well as reproducible scripts and vignettes documenting end
		to end experiments. Kingma and Ba (2015)
