在早期的出版物中，我们提出了一个模型来解释水神庙网络在巴厘岛湿稻灌溉农业生态中的功能作用。我们认为，寺庙网络的关键生态效应最好被理解为复杂适应系统的新兴特性。这一论点意味着，从传统社会科学的角度来看，寺庙系统的重要方面在很大程度上是不透明的。我们提出，绿色革命通过有效地消除寺庙网络在生态管理中的功能作用，对我们的模型进行了现实世界的检验。水神庙网络代表了一种迄今为止未知的机构的观点遭到了其他社会科学家的适当怀疑，他们对我们的证据进行了细致的梳理。在这里我们评估他们的批评。
In earlier publications we have proposed a model to explain the functional role of water temple networks in the agro-ecology of wet rice irrigation on the island of Bali. We argued that the key ecological effects of temple networks are best understood as emergent properties of a complex adaptive system. This argument implies that important aspects of the temple system are largely opaque from the perspective of conventional social science. We proposed that the Green Revolution created a real-world test of our model, by effectively removing the temple networks from their functional role in ecological management. The idea that water temple networks represent a hitherto-unknown kind of institution has been met with appropriate skepticism by other social scientists, who have run a fine-toothed comb through our evidence. Here we evaluate their critiques.
