This work presents the third stage of the Developmental Dynamics and Structural Evolution (DDSE) research program by introducing a minimal executable reference implementation of Developmental Computation. Building upon the mathematical foundations established in DDSE-I and the implementation-independent computational formalism developed in DDSE-II, the paper demonstrates that recursive organizational development can be realized as an executable computational process. The proposed Developmental Engine implements Primitive Developmental Transformations, Developmental Neighborhood construction, Structural Invariant Verification, Developmental Selection, Developmental Memory, and recursive Developmental Trajectories. The implementation is intentionally minimal and serves as a reference realization demonstrating the computational feasibility of recursive organizational development. Rather than introducing a new optimization algorithm or intelligent agent architecture, DDSE-III establishes an executable computational foundation for future investigations of Developmental Computation and progressively richer developmental systems.
