That's a harsh criteria: *human-built* systems and *accidentally* capable of evolution.

Maybe systems in which there is a lossy compression and reconstruction. So the evolution would not be the goal (compression is). Selection could than act on less-than-perfect reconstructions.

I can't think of any, but am curious.

If systems that we are part of count, there are many: human knowledge, music, fashion, tradition
