Phenomenalism (whether solipsistic or multi-person) doesn’t explain where phenomena come from or why they have their specific forms. If you can form a causal model of how the thing which experiences appearances is induced to have those experiences, you may as well do so. From an ontological perspective, you could say it’s phenomenalism which stops short of providing an explanation.
