We explore properties of the escape kinetics from the d-dimensional hypercube driven by multi-variate α-stable noises. Using methods of stochastic dynamics we show complex dependence of the mean first passage time for the escape from the hypercube as a function of the hypercube dimension d. Finally, we show how the escape process can be used to quantify independence of components of multi-variate α-stable noises.
