I'd argue semantically that surrealism is that which lies under reality whereas Doublethink (and other Orwellian language) lies over reality

You may be thinking of 'Pataphysics:

the science of that which is superinduced upon metaphysics, whether within or beyond the latter's limitations, extending as far beyond metaphysics as the latter extends beyond physics

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

'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
