Yes. John Wheeler and Andrei Linde are two of them, and Neils Bohr planted
the seeds of phenomenalism with his theory of Complementarity.
But let me be clear about my ontology. All reality is "external" in the
sense that we are conditionally separated from it. Finite existence is a
Nothingness/Otherness dichotomy held together by value-sensibility. Our
reality is Otherness, and we are "the hole of nothingness" in it. What
makes us beings-aware is the Otherness that we sense as Value. When Value
is divided by Nothingness, Difference emerges and reality appears as
objectified. That's why we perceive (i.e., create) reality as multiplistic
and relational rather than as One.

That's hilarious! I'll be laughing out loud, once I stop blushing :-}
