OK I was thinking about why this isn’t 4th person to me…
I think you are talking about ‘god mode’… This is where you are ‘outside the system’
But there is also ‘fly on the wall’… Inside the system and having an effect but being the almost invisible observer (The Hobbit) 
Fly on the wall accepts we are in the ecosystem of AI or Alien life. It can not only influence the system but also FEEL it’s influence.
Now deeper still… The reason this isn’t really what I mean by 4th person… Is different again… It’s not common alphabet ie like binary and it relies on context which is already shared in English.
Alien first contact would likely be in math functions of an order where impact on the system could be controlled otherwise it could destabilise our Ecosystem from theirs.
Fly on the wall is the search for EMERGENT intelligence it is not created intelligence
Indeed, the fly itself is emergent, having understood the system it inhabits.
We have been discussing the next stage of evolution of this concept… While the insects are the agents we are talking about the AI ‘Animals’ being the Robotics/Cybernetics and then human level might be Kruel.AI type companions.
This way we are abstracting fly on the wall for each conceptual layer
