I'm not an expert on Objectivism, but one of Rand's principles was to always pass moral judgement.

Connection theory has much less moral judgement to it than most approaches.

It's conceivable that there's a similar intellectual style of trying to understand the world by starting with abstractions, but that's not necessarily a matter of direct influence.
