+
+## Scope
+
+EvoNet is not a state-of-the-art or general-purpose deep learning framework.
+
+It does not aim to compete with libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX in terms
+of performance, scalability, or training algorithms. Backpropagation, GPU acceleration,
+and highly optimised tensor operations are outside the scope of this project.
+
+Instead, EvoNet is designed for evolutionary algorithms, structural mutation, and
+exploratory research, with a focus on transparent and explicit implementations rather
+than performance optimisation or feature completeness.
+
+EvoNet should be understood as a conceptual and experimental model, not as a
+production-grade neural-network engine.

 ## Features
 
-- **Layer-based but flexible** – allows skip connections, cycles, and recurrent paths
+- **Explicit, layer-based topology** with support for skip connections, cycles,
+  and recurrent paths
 - **Typed neuron roles and connection types** (`NeuronRole`, `ConnectionType`)
-- **Topology-aware mutation system** – add/remove neurons and connections, mutate weights, change activations
-- **Per-neuron activation functions** – configurable, extensible, evolvable
-- **1-step recurrent state logic** – avoids multi-pass stabilization
-- **Topology can grow at runtime** – with `add_neuron`, `add_connection`, `split_connection`
-- **Debug-friendly architecture** – explicit IDs, labels, roles, directional graphs
-- **Designed for evolutionary learning** – mutation, crossover, speciation ready
-- **Lightweight & extensible** – pure Python, NumPy-based, no hard dependencies
+- **Topology-aware mutation operations**:
+  add/remove neurons and connections, mutate weights, change activations
+- **Per-neuron activation functions**, configurable and evolvable
+- **Explicit 1-step recurrent state model**, without iterative stabilisation passes
+- **Runtime topology growth**, e.g. via `add_neuron` and `add_connection`
+- **Debug-friendly architecture** with explicit neuron IDs, labels, roles,
+  and directional graphs
+- **Designed for evolutionary integration**, not gradient-based training
+- **Lightweight and extensible**: pure Python, NumPy-based, no hard dependencies
