From the arxiv pdf after eq125:

> This presents a testable deviation from classical general relativity, potentially observable when the other terms are small, such as at low acceleration. The absence of such terms is likely to falsify this model. On the other hand since diffusion of the metric can result in stronger gravitational fields when we might otherwise expect none to be present, it raises the possibility that diffusion may explain galaxy rotation curves and galaxy formation without the need for dark matter

It certainly doesn't seem like an extreme reading to call this a MOND theory.

The issue is not calling it a MOND theory, it's with saying this theory is trying to justify MOND, as if that was it's primary purpose. The primary purpose was actually to unify GR with quantum mechanics and this MOND part just fell out.
