I haven’t seen the video, but I assume what it’s getting at is that if you have like a simple 5 over 4 polyrhythm and you speed it up sufficiently you’ll start to perceive it as a major third.
I kind of also think that’s a little meaningless since while tempo for a beat and pitch for a tone are both sort of frequencies we perceive them completely differently.

He does go into this perception difference, but he still makes a connection between the consonance of a chord due to the frequencies interacting and the consonance of a polyrhythm with the same ratios. A 3-4-5 polyrhythm is analogous to a major triad and has a pattern you can "feel" better than something dissonant.
