/**
 * This CODEC is used to create phenomes (NEATNetwork) objects using a genome
 * (NEATGenome). Conversion is only one direction. You are allowed to transform
 * a NEAT genome into a NEATNetwork, but you cannot transform a NEAT phenome
 * back into a genome. The main reason is I have not found a great deal of need
 * to go the other direction. If someone ever does find a need and creates a
 * encode method, please consider contributing it to the Encog project. :)
 * 
 * -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/
 * Encog's NEAT implementation was drawn from the following three Journal
 * Articles. For more complete BibTeX sources, see NEATNetwork.java.
 * 
 * Evolving Neural Networks Through Augmenting Topologies
 * 
 * Generating Large-Scale Neural Networks Through Discovering Geometric
 * Regularities

 * Automatic feature selection in neuroevolution
