I don't think a class/object can delegate to its own `var`s unless they're constructor parameters. You can try wrapping it in a separate initializer object like so:

object AppDataManager : DataManager by Initializer.dataManager {
    object Initializer {
        internal lateinit var dataManager: DataManager
        fun init(manager: DataManager) {
            dataManager = manager
        }
    }
}

That worked! I thank you and my code thanks you.
