(Presuming, in this context, the topic is the behavior of
organisms. So, of course, the question relates to behavior other
than the behavior of metals, asteroids, air currants, planets, etc.,

Non-biological behavior is behavior that does not have a biological
basis.
Which, as Peter indicated, cannot therefore be the behavioral of a
living organism (dead one's don't behave).
Are you inventing necropsychology, or simply the psychology of robots?
Otherwise, if the behaving organism is biological in nature (check
your Latin) than its behavior must have a biological basis.
Or are you trying to say that there are nonbiological causes that are
more important than biological ones?
