In this paper the authors propose a physical model of contractile biological polymer networks based on the notion of reactive interpenetrating flow. They show how their model leads to a mathematical formulation of the dynamical laws governing the behavior of contractile networks. They also develop estimates of the various parameters that appear in their equations, and discuss some elementary predictions of the model concerning the general scaling principles that pertain to the motions of contractile networks.
