But functionally, the only thing determining whether something contains a person is its behavior. If it behaves as if it had no person in it, it has no person in it.
I guess this means that if a person is standing next to a nuclear bomb, nobody sees the person, and the bomb explodes, the person didn't exist.
Behavior is just what you see, not the sum total of what actually happens. Even if you can't observe something, you can still care about it.
