I think OP is confusing economics with the economy, the former is a field of research, the second is a construct theroetically based on the value of economic output but increasingly just a measure of the moods of rich people.

I don’t think I am. Studying car mechanics is a made-up field because humans invented cars. Studying sports medicine is a made-up field because humans invented sports. Economics can, and sometimes does, cover non-human systems, but is largely the study of emergent properties from human-created systems.
