Does anyone have any tips on how I would fundamentally understand this article without just going back to school and getting a degree in mathematics? This is the sort of article where my attempts to understand a term only ever increase the number of terms I don't understand.

PhD math guy here. Personally, I don't think this is a great article for a lay person to approach or appreciate. You might be able and interested to follow along with the various constructions of C, but without appreciation for formal logic and category theory it'll seem like distinctions without a difference (and to working mathematicians, they are). The model theory I found quite interesting, but was high effort even for me. And the philosophical points are also rather specific.
