The writers said it was an acronym, but haven;t said what it means. On lostpedia they said it was

Department of
Heuristics and
Research
Material
Applications

That doesnt seem to show all of the Dharma Initiatives' aspects. Heuristics is of or relating to a usually speculative formulation serving as a guide in the investigation or solution of a problem.(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/heuristics)

I think that it is something else.

Degroot
Hanso
Advanced
Research of
Magnetic Anomalies
(I got that from somewhere else)

or

Does
Hanso
Always
Rely
Mainly on
Acronyms?
(That too)

And if it was simply all of the first letters of the science fields it would be

Parapsychology
Electromagnetism
Psychology
Utopian Social Engineering
Meteorology
Zoology

The PEPUMZ Initiative.

What do you think?

Or going with my military base theory:

Degroot
Hanso
Artillery
Research for
Military
Applications

or

Degroot
Hanso
Advanced
Research for
Military
Applications

You can post what you think it would be, or spoofs like this

Deadly
Helium
Amasses in
Really
Massive
Amounts

Different
Heavy
Advocates of
Really
Mad
Ardvarks

Doesn't
Hanso
Always
Return
Most
Allowances?

Did
Henry
Attack
Really
Mad
Anchorets?(loners)

Or the EPUMZU initiative.

Neat connections. I tried using the numbers to see if they spelled Dharma, it didnt, it only spelled Dhodb or Dhaemdb or osmething like that.

[buttonpresser4815]

it works for D and H, 4+8, and A=1, but then it goes haywire.

[Reno]
