Does this make the Dharma Initiative any clearer? No. Me neither I'm still Lost. Have a look anyway.?

Question

The DHARMA Initiative ( Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications Initiative is a fictional research project featured in the American television series Lost. It was introduced in the second-season episode "Orientation".In computer science, besides the common use as "rule of thumb" (see heuristic), the term heuristic has two well-defined technical meanings. Two fundamental goals in computer science are finding algorithms with provably good run times and with provably good or optimal solution quality. A heuristic is an algorithm that gives up one or both of these goals; for example, it usually finds pretty good solutions, but there is no proof the solutions could not get arbitrarily bad; or it usually runs reasonably quickly, but there is no argument that this will always be the case. A rule of thumb is a principle with broad application that is not intended to be strictly accurate or reliable for every situation. It is an easily learned and easily applied.

I am thinking of the numbers when it says easily learned and easily applied.

I think I have just pressed submit too many times. I guess I am just impatient.

Answer 1

have a look at the lost experience (hanso exposed) it shows you what the numbers mean (sort of) through a series of video fragments

Answer 2

That sounds like an explanation made by a scientific-minded lawyer - lots of technical terms, and none of it makes anything any clearer.

Answer 3

U lost me too

Answer 4

don't understand you've lost me..

Answer 5

huh?
