"Pataphysics" is a philosophical concept and a form of absurdist literature that originated with the French writer Alfred Jarry in the late 19th century. It is often described as a "science of imaginary solutions" and addresses the absurdity of existence, exploring what exists beyond metaphysics. Pataphysics posits that for every phenomenon, there is a law governing an exception, thereby emphasizing the bizarre and nonsensical aspects of life.
