Doctrinal Positions
- Doctrine is generally bad; the less the better.
- The Pataphysical Society of New York is open to all who wish to investigate the most poetic of the sciences.
- Membership is compulsory, however attendance at events is voluntary, and registration is free.
- We expressly and specifically embrace anti-pataphysics (up to and including all other subjects, topics, and disciplines that may animate our membership).
- We eschew the apostrophe in our name and in our publications. Jarry's original intent does not apply in English, and the usages proposed by other institutions are arbitrary.
- We follow the standard American calendar for all dates and times. Holidays, feasts, and observations invented by the College de Pataphysique in the 1950s are celebrated by exception only.
- None of the above shall be construed as a prohibition of any kind.
