To be clear, I do suspect that each metal strip, and any metal strip, may be 'aware' of temperature (it's own) but that's not an abstract 'understanding'. The thermostat device as a whole is only a coherent machine from our perspective. Without us, each part of the thermostat is just a coincidentally adjacent object, having no unifying subjective sense amongst the parts.
