Let's define $n=\frac{N}/{V}$ the number density of communicative civilizations in the Galaxy, where $N$ is the total number of such civilizations populating the Galaxy and $V$ is the total galactic volume. Assuming an homogeneous distribution across the Galaxy, the average spacial separation between two neighbour communicative civilization is replace_contentlt;r>\sim $\sim  1/n^{1/3}$.
