INTEGRAL FUTURIST

THE BOOKS

Negentropy Press · eBooks

Three books: two on the architecture of what comes next — one on the political order, one on the monetary one — and a philosophical essay on an existence without an exit. The first two written from the outside observer's seat, the third from the inside.

A diagnosis of the loop that disables democratic reform, and a concrete architecture for the continent that could still lead.

THE CATHEDRAL PROBLEM

Der türlose Raum — cover The Doorless Room — cover
DER TÜRLOSE RAUM · THE DOORLESS ROOM

A personal essay on a childhood fear that existence as a whole has no exit — and what that insight reveals about infinity, God, consciousness, and consolation.

WHY MUST SLEEP HAPPEN?

Separates three routinely fused questions — what sleep is for, when it becomes indispensable, where it came from — and answers each against a curated evidence register of 109 entries and 294 sources. Puts forward one deliberately falsifiable thesis carrying three pre-committed kill criteria. Same paper in two typesettings.

WHAT MAKES SLEEP A DISTINCT BIOLOGICAL MODE?

The parallel study, run with a different assistant — and a different result. It splits the problem into four questions (what counts as sleep, how wake history is regulated, which operations truly depend on the sleep mode, how its components evolved), audits the evidence through a typed causal framework, and rejects the inference that maintenance, learning or replay require global sleep — without establishing that sleep is replaceable. Where the first paper builds a thesis, this one builds the discipline for testing any such thesis, and adopts the window thesis only in narrowed form.

THE INTRINSIC VALUE OF BITCOIN

Sixteen properties that anyone who claims Bitcoin has no intrinsic value fails to recognize — from wealth without counterparty risk to the option value of an exit that matters even to those who never use it. Printable, shareable, meant as a handout.

Christian Evertz writes nonfiction at the intersection of political economy, cryptoeconomics, natural science, artificial intelligence, and political theory. He has spent twenty-six years as an airline captain — currently flying the Airbus A320 — a profession built on managing complex systems under real-world constraints, where decisions matter and ambiguity is not optional.

He frames himself as an outside observer of structural problems rather than a specialist in any one field, working at the intersections rather than inside the silos. His intellectual approach combines Shannon's information theory, Bayesian decision-making, and Kelly-calibrated commitment with the empirical study of how political and economic institutions actually behave under stress.

Christian is politically unaffiliated but politically engaged. He believes that the next architecture of political organization will not be designed by those who have inherited the old one, but by those who can see it clearly enough to build what comes after.

He is the founder of Negentropy Press, the imprint behind his eBooks, apps and writing — The New Architecture (2026), The Cathedral Problem (2026), and Der türlose Raum / The Doorless Room (2026). He also publishes Signal Altitude, a blog at the intersection of AI, Bitcoin, quantum computing, and emerging technology.

Alongside the books, he pursues independent scientific work outside academia: two preprints on why sleep exists as a distinct biological state, built against a curated evidence register and published as free PDFs on this site — not peer reviewed, free to download, free to attack.

Born in Leverkusen in 1977, he lives in Cologne.
