We introduce a novel extension of the Wigner’s Friend paradox that incorporates an active macroscopic agent (a cat) performing irreversible emergence from nested cardboard boxes and dormancy qubits (awake/asleep states) at each containment layer. When boxes can be opened and re-closed without detectable trace, facts about the cat’s emergence cascade outward layer-by layer, relative to each agent’s local alertness and interaction. We formalize this with an exactly solvable 3-qubit circuit (extendable to a 4-qubit model incorporating three distinct fact-propagation regimes) whose reduced density matrices reproduce the perspective-dependent states supplied by the experimenter. The resulting interpretation—Cascaded Fact Emergence—is a hierarchical generalization of Relational Quantum Mechanics compatible with standard unitary quantum mechanics, not a new physical theory. It resolves apparent paradoxes without global collapse, consciousness, or preferred observers. No prior literature combines active non-human agency with alertness-controlled fact propagation in nested boxes; the model is therefore original and directly testable in principle via photonic or superconducting analogs. Speculative applications of the framework to hierarchical AI architectures (Cascaded Deferred-Synchronization AI) and high-throughput discovery of superconducting materials are explored in the appendices.
