to be determined. This pure model has precisely the same structure as the Goldstone theory mentioned in the previous paragraph has. Thus, by comparing the two models we can learn the moments of the quenched random kernel from the (already-computed) coupling functions of the Goldstone model. Then we analyze a particular realization of the phenomenological model having a fixed value of the quenched randomness. We observe that the natural reference state (i.e., the state of vanishing displacement field) of this model is not in fact an equilibrium state for any given realization of disorder, due to the random attractive interactions embodied by the kernel. We analyze how these attractions compete with the near-incompressibility of the medium to determine the displacement to the new, equilibrium configuration, which we shall term the relaxed state.(This process can be understood in the setting of a hypothetical, instant process of preparing a sample of rubber: the cross-links introduce attractions and random stresses, and the system then undergoes relaxation, including global contraction and local deformation.)  We then explore shear deformations around this relaxed state, pass to the local limit, and arrive at the standard form of continuum elasticity theory, expressed in terms of the strain around
