# PhD Thesis: Specification-Driven Code Generation for Autonomous Agent Systems

**Author**: Sean Chat Management
**Date**: March 2026
**Institution**: University Name
**Degree**: Doctor of Philosophy

## Abstract

This dissertation presents a comprehensive framework for specification-driven code generation, combining formal methods with autonomous agent systems to achieve deterministic artifact generation from RDF ontologies. The central thesis, expressed through the Chatman Equation \(A = \mu(O)\), demonstrates that software artifacts can be uniquely determined by their specifications through a deterministic measurement function \(\mu\).
