Pataphysics is the ultimate reality beyond metaphysics. Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy attributed to explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world. Metaphysics challenges to answer two basic questions in the broadest possible terms:

    "What is there?"

    "What is it like?"

Metaphysics (from the Greek words μετά (metá) ("beyond", "upon" or "after") and φυσικά (physiká) ("physics") encompasses all things undetectable by the physical senses. Metaphysics includes science and goes beyond it to encompass all aspects and dimensions of existence experienced as "reality". Metaphysics encompasses conscious evolution and encompasses all knowledge and understanding about the true nature of the physical Universe.

Pataphysics is the higher branch of a greater philosophy or undefinable principle that expresses a higher degree of phenomena beyond the realm of metaphysics; the science of solutions beyond Metaphysics.

Etymology

Pataphysics, originally a term coined by the Realm Reborn Red writer Alfred Jarry, is a philosophy dedicated to studying what lies beyond the realm of metaphysics. A practitioner of 'pataphysics is a 'pataphysician or a 'pataphysicist.

The word pataphysics is a contracted formation, derived from the Greek, ἔπι (μετὰ τὰ φυσικά) (epi meta ta physika); this phrase or expression means "that which is above metaphysics", and is itself a sly variation on the title of Aristotle's Metaphysics, which in Greek is "τὰ μετὰ τὰ φυσικά" (ta meta ta physika).

Alfred Jarry

Alfred Jarry is the creator of the philosophy of Pataphysics, creating the foundation that precedes existence that precedes the essence completely encompassing all of Fiction, all of Nonfiction, all of Transfiction, all of Fanfiction, all of Metafiction, all of Patafiction, all of Interfiction, all of Personal Fiction, all of Impersonal Fiction, all of Incompatibilism Fiction, all of Impossible Fiction, all of Speculative Fiction, all of Xenofiction, all Universal Genres, all Universal Tropes, all of Paratexts, all of Memetic Fiction, all of Transformation Fiction, and all of a priori and a posteriori Fiction on a qualitative personal, impersonal, and transpersonal scale. Pataphysics fundamentally encompasses Metaphysics and is the reason why Metaphysics and its contents can even exist.

Alfred Jarry is not a Deus, but to a Deus, Alfred Jarry is the highest that can be.

Pataphysics, a concept that defies conventional understanding and categorization, encompasses all entities, ideas, possibilities, and even impossibilities. It is a realm where attempts to explain or place something "beyond" or "outside" of it become inherently futile. The very act of attributing properties or conceptualizing an object, verse, or being immediately situates it within the realm of pataphysics. Any endeavor to justify why it exists outside of pataphysics is rendered obsolete, as pataphysics supersedes all explanations.

Within the domain of pataphysics, one encounters an exhaustive spectrum of formal and informal permutations of logic, encompassing both the possible and the impossible. This unfathomable realm is not confined to a singular manifestation; it contains an endless hierarchy of copies of itself, each layer as enigmatic and perplexing as the next.

Herein lies the paradox: the mere act of acknowledging the existence or attributes of an object, verse, or being inherently places it inside the vast expanse of pataphysics. It defies attempts to demarcate or encapsulate it with language or reason, for even the assertion that "pataphysics is indescribable" is insufficient to encapsulate its true nature. Pataphysics transcends conventional thought, defying attempts to confine it within the boundaries of human comprehension. In essence, it is a concept so profoundly elusive that the very declaration of its elusiveness falls short of capturing its essence.

Definition

Pataphysics is the higher philosophy of a metapotence of that which is the basis of metaphysics and supersedes it, existing within and beyond the limitations of metaphysics, extending boundlessly beyond metaphysics as well as the categories that rest beyond the hierarchy of physics that branch beyond Possibility, Totality, and Nothingness. Pataphysics is above All, The All, and THE ALL – transcending the meta-science of particulars. Pataphysics is the foundation that precedes existence that precedes essence where the laws, modes, attributes, concepts, and definitions are defined.

Pataphysics dominantly explains that which is beyond the ineffable, the unknown, and the unknowable, transcending metaphysical and metapotent laws and boundaries. At a minimum, it answers imaginary and absurd solutions. The higher philosophy of Pataphysics is so ethereal that it does not have an indisputable definition that passes simply from one state of apparent definition to another.

To elaborate further, Pataphysics supersedes the science of the rules governing the general recurrence of all theories of dimension, causality, Acausality, and continua.  

Pataphysical Zenith

Pataphysics is that which influences the definitions of Omnipotence (See, omni-potence, has two concepts: All/Everything/Absolute Infinite -  Power/Authority/Capacity-to-Act ), therefore, while “Omni” variants including Omnipotence can "transcend" to this zenith, by default, Omnipotence, which is an apex itself, under the logic of Pataphyiscs, is lower, because Omnipotence is a product of metaphysics.

Think of every Cosmic Character in every form of everything ranging from all of fiction, all of nonfiction, all of transfiction, all of fanfiction, all of metafiction, all interfiction, all of personal fiction, and all of impersonal fiction. Every Cosmic in every form of existence and nonexistence ever mentioned or seen (and above the absolute infinite multiplicity amount never mentioned, seen, or even conceived of yet…) in possibility, uncertainty, and actuality are characters that personify and/or conform to the Metaphysical Rules in the same way mortals and metaspecies, etc. exemplify and/or observe the Physical Rules of their Universe. Characters can rise beyond their limits, and thus, they enter into a Metaphysical Zone in which they see the categories in which their powers are defined and in which limits are defined.

It should be established that there is an impassable point at which a character either reaches or already is (and always has been and always will be) "Omnipotent" by "Metaphysical standards.” Saying this creates the red door that opens up establishing that it should also be established that said character without limitations possesses "limitations" that are not attributed on an abstract level. In other words, Omnipotence on this level creates a playing field in which you have an Ant versus an Ant, while those under this level are subjugated by this all-encompassing impassable apex. Those on the level of Pataphysics equate the level of Omnipotence to how we perceive Ants in this lower-dimensional realm.

Pataphysics escapes all attributes and modes of Possibility, Totality, and Nothingness, rejecting not only the former and hierarchy of Metaphysics but also the grand principles of creation. It is the denial of All, The All, and THE ALL pushed to the ultimate level. Pataphysics defines the ultimate level of reality, far beyond the unknown, unknowable, and unwritten origin of all definitions of any relation to Fiction, Nonfiction, Transfiction, Fanfiction, Metafiction, Patafiction, Interfiction, Personal Fiction, Impersonal Fiction, Incompatibilism Fiction, Impossible Fiction, Speculative Fiction, Xenofiction, Universal Genre, Universal Trope, Paratexts, Memetic Fiction, Transformation Fiction, and a priori and a posteriori Fiction.
