Motivated by recent developments in superstring theory in the cosmological
context, we examine a field theory which contains string networks with 3-way
junctions. We perform numerical simulations of this model, identify the length
scales of the network that forms, and provide evidence that the length scales
tend towards a scaling regime, growing in proportion to time. We infer that the
presence of junctions does not in itself cause a superstring network to
dominate the energy density of the early Universe.Comment: 12pp, 3 fig
