There could, perhaps, be a fixed point of 'represent' by which an agent could 'represent' everything about itself, including the representation, for most reasonable forms of 'representiness' including cognitive post-processing. (We do a lot of fixed-pointing at MIRI decision theory workshops.) But a bounded agent shouldn't be bothering, and it won't include the low-level quark states either.
