The vast* majority of my scenes will only work from the set-up camera. I very
rarely model anything that isn't directly viewable. Even visible objects may be
distorted if viewed from other angles. For reflective surfaces, I'll generally
have a textured plane or box for something to reflect, but that's about it...
For an example, see my post to pbi...
That aside, when you render schrodinger's box, is the cat inside it alive or
dead? ;)
* can the majority of a small number of scenes be vast? Hmmm....

That depends on the state of the box (open/closed), the position of the
camera
and wheter or not a computer can be considered an observer for the purpose
of making quantum wavefroms collapse.

So how does bill resolve rendering a closed box if he insists on rendering the
hidden parts?

You make some switch/case statements that put a animatable cat in it if
the particle fails to decay, and puts a stiff cat in it if it does decay...
or is that the other way around... Anyway, then you make a random decay
function for the particle.
