Abstract

Traditional foundations of mathematics are centered on ZFC set theory. However, the independence of the Continuum Hypothesis reveals that the concept of cardinals overlooks mathematical structures, and infinite-dimensional objects lack a rigorous status. This paper proposes an extension of cardinal theory by introducing a more fundamental notion than sets: the \emph{pre-type structure}. Every mathematical object is generated from basic extension cardinals through an \emph{extension relation}, and its essence is characterized by structural invariants and modal properties. Concurrently, we realize modal logic as a geometric structure within a \emph{moduli space}, endowing necessity and possibility with an algebraic-geometric semantics. Based on this, we establish a new axiom system, \textbf{EZFC}, which unifies set theory, modal logic, and moduli spaces. This framework transforms the Continuum Hypothesis into a structure-sensitive, multi-dimensional issue, providing a rigorous foundation for infinite-dimensiona
