This release introduces MEON R56, an external-comparison audit designed to test the MEON topological field-proxy framework against hydrodynamical LambdaCDM raytracing or simulation-derived benchmark data. Building on the R55J primary-metric-locked result, R56 shifts the evaluation from internal HFF-only validation to a direct observed-versus-simulation comparison. The audit compares observed Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) kappa reconstruction metrics against externally supplied LambdaCDM, hydrodynamical, mock, or raytracing simulation metrics. The comparison is performed using predeclared predictive and topological diagnostics, including RMSE improvement, RMSE improvement fraction, R² gain, BIC improvement, multiscale lacunarity measures, residual lacunarity reduction, and related fractal/topological proxy terms. R56 reports effect sizes, bootstrap confidence intervals, permutation p-values, cluster-level comparisons, and a resolution-invariance audit where suitable scale metadata are available. The purpose of R56 is not to claim a final falsification of LambdaCDM, nor to assert that dark matter or dark energy have been replaced. Instead, R56 defines the next mandatory benchmark: whether externally generated LambdaCDM raytracing simulations can reproduce the topological and predictive signal observed in the stable HFF kappa-map core. A PASS or CONDITIONALPASS result would support MEON as a simulation-facing topological diagnostic benchmark; a FAIL result would indicate that the supplied simulation baseline reproduces the measured signal sufficiently. This release therefore provides a falsifiable bridge between the MEON R55J field-proxy formulation and future hydrodynamical cosmological simulation tests.
