Modern science is precise, successful - and possibly fundamentally misdirected. It describes the world with impressive accuracy, yet for more than a hundred years it has failed to answer its deepest questions: What is time? What is chance? What is consciousness? And why can quantum mechanics and gravity not be unified? In *Volo ergo sum*, Siegfried Genreith presents an uncomfortable thesis: Order is not fundamental - chance is. It is not laws that generate the world, but a self-referential process that stabilizes itself step by step. Gravity appears not as a force, but as a statistical effect. Time is not continuous, but emerges from events. Consciousness is not a mysterious addition to matter, but a form of order in time. At the center stands the GenI model, an evolutionary stochastic process that reproduces both the quantum mechanical measurement process and gravitational dynamics - without fine-tuning, without hidden control variables. Free will is not explained away, but taken seriously as a real cause: "Volo ergo sum" - I will, therefore I am. Genreith combines personal reflections, philosophical rigor, and physical modeling into a radical shift in perspective. The book deliberately avoids mathematical formalism, but not conceptual precision. It challenges the reader to rethink familiar categories such as objectivity, causality, and reality. This book does not aim to please. It aims to unsettle, to provoke, and to open a debate that is long overdue.

Siegfried Genreith, born in 1956, is married and has three grown children. He studied mathematics at the University of Cologne and worked for over thirty years as chief designer and IT architect at a leading global company. The origins of natural intelligence have become his passion. Originally a side effect of this, he has created mathematically inspired artworks, which he regularly exhibits under the title "Chaos, Kunst und Algorithmen."
