The internet includes people -- who generate messages that traverse it. But a system consisting solely of computers networked in some way may be a good example. It's not quite what I was thinking of, though. I'd like to exclude anything biological and anything created by biological organisms. So that excludes computers.
The best example I can think of is the weather system, including, ocean currents and their interactions with weather phenomena. Considering the distinction that's often made between complex and complicated, should weather be considered complex or complicated?
