High speed trading does take on a life of its own and runs at a speed too fast for people to follow. As I said, though, I want to exclude human-produced artifacts. In addition, it's not clear there would be high speed trading if there weren't human traders they are trying to front-run.
Agree, biology does sneak into weather phenomena as well.
What about my revised question. Can we think of anything that is non-biological, non-human, and not a biological or human artifact that would qualify as an agent based system?

Increasingly there are volatility hazards that arise because machines are talking to machines in a multiparty fashion via the trading system and this happens
at a frequency beyond what people can fathom. It takes on a life of its own.
Planetary weather patterns seem like a decent example, but biology sneaks into that one too.
