Excellent questions!
In order to be rigorous, a mathematical abstraction needs to
be characterized up to a unique isomorphism. However, ZFC
does not meet the requirement, because ZFC does not
characterize sets up to a unique isomorphism.
However, there is a theory that characterizes Ordinals up to a
unique isomorphism that as explained in the following article:
"Theory Ordinals can Replace ZFC in Computer Science"

Orders can be used to block many different contradictions
based on attempted recursive definitions (beyond just The
Liar) as explained the following article:
"Epistemology Cyberattacks"

The Gödel number of a proposition does not work in
foundations because it does not represent the order of the
proposition and because there are uncountable propositions in
foundations. Criteria for foundations are proposed in the
following article:
