Evidence package details diagnostics and reconstruction challenges in Hubble Frontier Fields for better accuracy improvements.
This evidence package documents the MEON R39–R50 diagnostic sequence, extending the earlier HFF Kappa and Bullet/CMB analyses into a structured simulation-stress and reconstruction-challenge framework. The package summarizes a series of preregistered computational audits applied to public Hubble Frontier Fields Kappa reconstructions, Chandra/X-ray and optical proxy layers, WebSky external ΛCDM convergence simulations, and cluster-matched ΛCDM-like reconstruction mocks. The sequence begins with simulation stress testing and non-standard cluster identification, then advances through targeted multi-layer follow-ups of Abell2744 and Abell370, WCS-matched Chandra/HFF recovery diagnostics, low-Kappa/void lacunarity texture analysis, conservative matched-null validation, posterior-predictive ΛCDM proxy tests, external WebSky comparison, and finally a cluster-matched ΛCDM reconstruction challenge. Across R48–R50, the audits identify repeated mismatch or stress signatures in HFF Kappa maps relative to increasingly constrained ΛCDM-like comparison envelopes. The strongest result in this package is R50, where 25 public HFF Kappa maps are compared against cluster-matched ΛCDM-like reconstruction mocks designed to preserve peak geometry, halo morphology, smoothing, projected large-scale-structure texture, and reconstruction noise. R50 classifies 11 maps as strong cluster-matched ΛCDM mismatch candidates, 7 as mismatch candidates, 5 as stress candidates, and 2 as compatible or inconclusive. This does not constitute a final falsification of ΛCDM, because the comparison mocks are parametric rather than full hydrodynamical ray-tracing simulation ensembles. However, the result establishes a strong reconstruction-level mismatch signature and motivates a final follow-up using published cluster-matched ΛCDM simulation products and HFF-like mock lensing reconstructions. This release is intended as an evidence and reproducibility package for further review. It should be interpreted as a diagnostic research framework, not as a definitive cosmological claim. The central contribution is a reproducible audit pipeline for testing whether observed HFF Kappa scale structure, low-density texture, and multi-layer offsets can be reproduced by progressively stronger null, simulation, and reconstruction controls.
