Torn down all the way to the slab, what should the new floor structure look like?

As the topic describes, I have torn up the basement floor and plan to lay tiles down there. I have a plan that I would like you to look at and then evaluate, perhaps coming up with tips and ideas. Today, it's torn down to the slab, and my plan is to: 1. Manufacture/buy "plastic blocks" that are about 100x100x20mm (WxLxH) and place them symmetrically across the entire slab. 2. Then construct a framework with 45 wooden beams resting on these "plastic blocks." 3. Add insulation between the beams that also rests on the "plastic blocks." (Styrofoam? cellplast?) 4. Lay floor gypsum and then it’s just a matter of tiling. This way, I get an air pocket of 2cm everywhere (except where the blocks are placed) and no organic material is against the slab. Is it just a matter of going ahead with this or what do you think?

Use platon's system with mat and 20 or 40mm celloplast, and ventilated baseboards. I have it myself in a room and have no problems with any potential moisture migration in the walls.
