You are missing the key point that an excited atom has less mass that the sum of its constituent parts. You are not looking for extra...

Then is there anything specific to which we can attribute the extra mass, or is it just somehow acquired by the whole system in some...

When we consider the mass difference between an excited atom and an atom in the ground state, is it possible (or even meaningful) to try...

I still don't understand.

Um, what actually happens when the Schroedinger's cat detects a photon from the enemy? ... Never mind. I don't want to know.
