I understand that the act abolished the cities of Washington and Georgetown and made a consolidated government for the entire District of Columbia, but how exactly does this affect the rest of the United States, let alone turn it into a business corporation?

Afaik the whole "corporation" theory comes from a lack of understanding of legal terminology. Look up why countries are referred to as corporations in legal documents. It doesn't mean what people here seem to think it does. Tbh that makes me question a lot of other conclusions people on here have come to.
Here's a link: https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/corporation
Excerpt:
6. Nations or states, are denominated by publicists, bodies politic, and are said to have their affairs and interests, and to deliberate and resolve, in common. They thus become as moral persons, having an understanding and will peculiar to themselves, and are susceptible of obligations and laws. Vattel, 49. In this extensive sense the United States may be termed a corporation; and so may each state singly. Per Iredell, J. 3 Dall. 447.
I'm glad to see this reply as I did some similar reading myself. The dictionary definition of corporation also suggests this "A company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law." Given that definition, combined with the legalese you elaborated on, it really makes one wonder about the accuracy of this theory
Random fun fact: you as a corporation have a tax liability, you as a man do not.
That’s what this entire theory has always been, just not understanding what corporation or to incorporate actually means legally. A lot of stuff like this eats up tremendous attention here and elsewhere.
Here's whistleblower Karen Hudes explaining the topic. As a former Senior Counsel at World Bank until 2007, possibly she is not operating from the "lack of understanding of legal terminology" plaguing us plebs. See if you agree:
