Biological evolution just happens to belong in that set because it is a system which contains those elements."Biological evolution" is the only one in that set then. That is the only system that replicates. A car is replicated, but it does not replicate. A bird nest is replicated, but it does not replicate. There is a big difference between acting on an object and the actions of the object.
You claim cars are replicated but the system which results in cars does not contain the element of replication?
You're being nonsensical.
Or maybe you are just trying to use word salad to deceive people into believing replication and reproduction are the exact same thing.
