The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence is pushing higher education to a historic turning point. The traditional "teacher-student-textbook" triadic structure is struggling to meet the challenges of the intelligent era. This paper aims to explore the construction of a new educational ecosystem, with "human-machine collaboration" at its core, deeply integrating and dynamically interacting five elements: "teacher, student, AI, environment, and culture." The paper first analyzes the inevitability of the paradigm shift from "dyadic" and "triadic" structures to a "quintessential synergy" paradigm through a historical evolutionary perspective. It then proposes a core theoretical interaction model with "culture" as the soul, "environment" as the foundation, and the "teacher-AI-student" nexus at the core. Furthermore, a mixed-methods study provides initial empirical validation, outlining a four-stage implementation path and analyzing challenges related to equity, ethics, and assessment. This study provides a systematic theoretical framework and practical guidance for the structural reform of future higher education.
