He thinks that Godel made an error, namely failing to generalize from
two-valued logic to sequence-valued logic. He then shows that
predicate logic can be encoded as polynomials, which is not new, and
sweeps quantification under the rug since it's too hard.
So while not strictly nonsense, it's not the earth-shattering wonder
the author thinks it is.
