Pataphysics; what the fuck?

Abstract

A unique imaginary solution to the absence of problems. pata.physics.wtf is a poetic search engine, no more, no less.

The system described and shown on this site is part of a PhD project entitled Algorithmic Meta-Creativity by Fania Raczinski. The doctoral thesis describing this project can be found at dr.physics.wtf.

This research involves studying human and computer creativity and how they are evaluated, the absurd pseudo philosophy pataphysics and its applications, and the development of creative exploratory search algorithms inspired by pataphysical concepts.
