Someone's been reading "the Palace Of Eternity" by Bob Shaw.

Yes, he wrote something apart from "Other Days, Other Eyes"

But part of that novel is a discussion of the ramifications of a human-written "Table of Civilization Survival" that defines the length of time a civilization can exist. At the time, humanity knows about two other civilizations apart from itself – One extinct, one they are at war with.
