Pataphysics is what lies beyond Metaphysics just like Metaphysics is what lies beyond Physics (unpon whih Science is built). So Pata being the basis of Meta seems logical if not inevitable.

Pata itself predates Meta, its studying simply appeared later, just like Meta as a science appeared after physical science, even though the real thing was there before. More "meta" means more fundamental, which means more ancien, but also more complicated from our viewpoint, and thus newer as a sience.
