Semantic Intent Research - Michael Shatny

Semantic Intent as Single Source of Truth

Novel unified patterns for eliminating WHAT/WHY synchronization problems in AI-assisted development through atomic behavioral contracts protected by immutable governance mechanisms.

This research introduces a unified approach that combines semantic anchoring (WHAT) and intent mapping (WHY) into atomic behavioral contracts, protected by immutable governance mechanisms.

Status: Peer-reviewed • Production validated • Open implementation

Theoretical Framework Components


UNIFIED_SEMANTIC_CONTRACTS_FRAMEWORK:
├── Semantic Anchoring Principle
│   ├── Theoretical Foundation: Observable document properties serve as semantic anchors
│   ├── Implementation: const isExecutive = title.includes('executive')
│   └── Purpose: Anchoring behavior to semantic meaning rather than implementation details
│
├── Contract Unification Theory
│   ├── Core Innovation: Atomic combination of WHAT (document semantics) and WHY (behavioral intent)
│   ├── Implementation: { documentType: 'executive', behaviorContract: 'condensed' }
│   └── Purpose: Eliminating drift through unified semantic representation
│
└── Immutable Governance
    ├── Implementation Pattern: Runtime protection mechanisms prevent contract violations
    ├── Implementation: createProtectedIntent(semanticContract)
    └── Purpose: Ensuring semantic integrity through system boundaries
