e.g. do you consider yourself to be the cause of other people?

To the extent that there is a cause, yes. Other people are a surface phenomenon.

What do you mean by surface? Do you mean people exist as your perceptions but not otherwise? And is there anything 'beneath' this 'surface', whatever it is?
