Random number generator engines are the lowest-level RNG components in the Numerics.NET architecture. They own algorithm state and expose mathematical primitives for state transition and output mapping with a stable, portable state format.

Core Responsibilities:

• State ownership: Engines hold the complete algorithm state.
• Seeding: Engines initialize from a SeedSequence that provides a deterministic entropy stream.
• State persistence: Engines support portable save/load operations via IStateful.
• Metadata: Engines expose their name and native word size for introspection.

Engine Types:

Concrete engines implement either IScalarEngine<T> (for 1:1 topology) or IBlockEngine<T> (for 1:N block-based topology). Counter-based engines implement the specialized ICounterBased<T> interface.
