"The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through

three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and

Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases.

"For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can

we eat?' the second by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by

the question 'Where shall we have lunch?'"
