        generated_weights = self.hyper_net(condition).view(x.size(1), -1) # Reshape as needed
        
        # Apply generated weights to the input x
        # This is a simplified conceptual example
        output = torch.matmul(x, generated_weights)
        return output

# Example usage (conceptual)
# hypernetwork = SimpleHypernetwork(in_features=10, hidden_features=20, out_features=5)
