It seems to me like this would be needed even if there was only the model-based part: if the system has actuators, then these need to be associated with some actuators in the 3rd-person model; if the system has sensors, then these need to be associated with sensors in the 3rd-person model. Once you know every physical fact about the universe, you still need to know "which bit is you" on top of that, if you are an agent.
