'pataphysics is an extension of metaphysics - both of which extend the concept of "that which is beyond"
although connected - surrealism from the French for "under reality" is more about incongruity with what is real, but meta- and 'pata-physics are looking at what is beyond the physical.
Dream-like things like a star with a face are surreal, something like an actual sentient star would be 'pataphysical
