A PRLAAZ 0950-1207 351, 351 (1976) 10.1098/rspa.1976.0146; during final revisions of the manuscript we discovered that this paper rederives the results of James and Guth in a manner very similar to ours. In this work, Flory, also considered the suppression of cross-link fluctuations by increased functionality. Flory, also worked on the level of single strands to modify the phantom network, while considering the effect of fluctuations on curing. However, the effect of fluctuation suppression is opposite to that of Panyukov and Rubinstein. Whereas, PR predicted a decrease in the modulus with increasing functionality, Flory, predicted an increase in the modulus.

Hence, stress curves in this manuscript should be ignored.
