We propose a Hamiltonian approach to reproduce the relevant elements of the centuries-old Subak irrigation system in Bali, showing a cluster-size distribution of rice-field patches that is a power-law with an exponent of ∼2. Besides this exponent, the resulting system presents two equilibria. The fi...
