In this paper, we study the behavior (processes) of reaction systems where the context is not arbitrary, but it has its own structure. In particular, we consider a model where the context for a reaction system originates from a network of reaction systems. Such a network is formalized as a graph with reaction systems residing at its nodes, where each reaction system contributes to defining the context of all its neighbors. This paper provides a framework for investigating the behavior of reaction systems receiving contexts from networks of reaction systems, provides a characterisation of their state sequences, and considers different topologies of context networks.
