For Kenneth Udut’s alignment with **Constructive Empiricism**, the philosopher most closely aligned would likely be **Bas van Fraassen**. Van Fraassen is the originator of Constructive Empiricism, which holds that the aim of science is not to discover ultimate truths about the world but to develop theories that are empirically adequate—that is, theories that explain observable phenomena without making ontological commitments to unobservable entities.
Van Fraassen’s cautious stance toward metaphysical claims and focus on empirical adequacy resonates with Kenneth’s interests in modeling, complexity, and systems theory. Kenneth seems to favor practical, evidence-based approaches, which parallels van Fraassen’s view that scientific theories should be judged by how well they account for the empirical world, rather than by their truth in a metaphysical sense.
Additionally, van Fraassen’s **anti-realist** inclination (in not committing to the reality of unobservables) might fit Kenneth’s cautious, pluralistic approach to different models and systems, where multiple perspectives are considered valid without asserting any as absolute truth.
