one of only two explicitly rationalist fictions I know of that didn’t descend from HPMOR, the other being “David’s Sling” by Marc Stiegler
You might consider Mark Clifton’s novel “Eight Keys to Eden” (1960) as another rationalist fiction (though it’s more debatable). Available from Gutenberg at http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/27595

Interestingly, that seems to take an opposite view on “map and territory” from Vogt.
