as Josh mentioned earlier about his (Fitton's) correlation with Ae, it is very possible, but i find that it would be doubtful in that the melodies that Ae use are not Bolish (in my opinion) in any fashion. i can see some of the root movement of the melodic material from Incu. such as Maetl could very well yield some Bola-esque harmonies, but i don't think Ae really exhibits the emotional quality that Fitton does..Ae's emotional quality is measured differently in my opinion. im not saying their (Ae's) music is not emotional, but i think they have either 1. developed a style from the teachings of Fitton, or 2. had inspiration from Fitton, but decided to express their musicality in a way that didn't mimic his melodies, but perhaps in other ways. i dunno, it just seems to me that Autechre is way too centered on linear motion with abrupt percussive qualities unheard of in Fitton's music. I believe that Fitton focuses on a very specific feeling and expresses it (almost minimally) in an evolutionally manner. his ideas are consistent, but they usually focus on building and evolving as textures gradually move in.
