I'm not going to attempt to summarize. The paper appears to try to explain Shipman's theory in terms of Pitkanen's own "TGD Theory", which has, to date, resisted all attempts at comprehension by folks whose pencils I would not be worthy of sharpening.
Pitkanen has been working on a "theory of everything" for decades, publishing both on his blog, and by uploading his papers to resarchgate.net, as the few people seemingly qualified to review his work gave up years ago. He rarely cites any but his own work.
There's also this - apparently, he was sending so many documents to the physics preprint server arXiv.org, his submissions are no longer welcome, perhaps because none ever actually got printed.

His blog, http://matpitka.blogspot.com says: "I am a Finnish theoretical physicist. For last 37 years Topological Geometrodynamics has been both the passion and mission of my life. TGD is a noble attempt to construct a theory of everything, not forgetting consciousness."
The addition of "consciousness" to the list of things claimed to be included in a "theory of everything" is... breathtaking in its sweep and scope.
To explain, it is freely admitted that the "Standard Model" remains a "theory of **almost** everything". It can be used to accurately predict the interactions of all known subatomic particles, along with electromagnetism, the strong and weak nuclear forces, but NOT gravity. For a few years, "String Theory" was claimed to include gravity, and thereby be a candidate for THE theory, but attempts to subject it to real-world testing were frustrated by a lack of any specific predictions one could make, and the entire theory was accordingly reclassified as "philosophy".

One can also peruse Quantoken's "GUITAR" theory, which is similarly opaque.

Both remind me of Otis Ray's "TimeCube", but Ray lacked the mathematical training of Pitkanen.
