I-DARPA ibonisa metaphorically i-Eris, i-Greek goddess of discord and struggle, ngokuchofoza ukuvuselelwa, ukuhlaziywa, kanye nokuguqulwa kwama-comportment yabantu. I-DARPA ihamba i-“program competition” yokwenza i-”program competition”. “I-platform yokukhipha nokukhipha ama-scenaries yokusebenza kwezemigomo. DARPAVERSE Ngo-10 Oktobha 2025, iDefense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) yasungulwa umdlalo njengoba "I-Special Topic Area (STA)" ye-projekthi eyenziwe . DARPAVERSE ERIS 
 
 
 “DARPAVERSE: I-platform eyodwa ekukhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa kwamandla, ukuthuthukiswa, kanye nokuphumelela kwamakhemikhali okuphumelela” I-DARPA, i-DARPAVERSE Program Competition, ngo-October 2025 “DARPAVERSE: I-platform eyodwa ekukhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa kwamandla, ukuthuthukiswa, kanye nokuphumelela kwamakhemikhali okuphumelela” “DARPAVERSE: I-platform eyodwa ekukhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa kwamandla, ukuthuthukiswa, kanye nokuphumelela kwamakhemikhali okuphumelela” I-DARPA, i-DARPAVERSE Program Competition, ngo-October 2025 "I-DARPAVERSE inikeza ukukhiqiza indawo yokuxhumana okuhlobisa indlela izihlangu, abathengisi kanye nezinkampani zokusebenza nezinhlelo zokusebenza zokusebenza nezinhlelo zokusebenza zokusebenza, ukuthuthukiswa nokuthuthukiswa kwama-models zezinhlelo zokusebenza ezingu-multi-domain ngokuvamile ukuze kuthuthukise izibalo nezinhlelo zokusebenza ngokuvamile, ngokuvumelana ne-Pareto border of dominant solutions."

She wrote the word Kallisti, meaning “to the fairest,” or “for the most beautiful,” on a golden apple, which she tossed into the wedding banquet. Three goddesses wabhala ukuba kuyinto enhle, futhi ngokusho umphumela owenziwe yayo yedolobha " :” Apple of Discord

Ngathi Judgement of Paris Ukuze ukunqoba ukhetho weParis, uHera wabhala amabhizinisi kanye namandla, uAthena wabhala ubuchwepheshe kanye nokuphumelela emoyeni, futhi uAphrodite wabhala uHelene, umfundi weHelene, owavela uMelelaus waseSparta. Paris chose Aphrodite as the fairest, and so with Aphrodite’s blessing he abducted Helen, which then sparked the Trojan War. U-Eris wahlala emangalisayo emangalisayo eyenza.
