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.
