Confusion Regarding Higher-Dimensional Being Power Levels

In https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Tiering_System_FAQ, it states that "Are higher-dimensional beings infinitely stronger than lower-dimensional equivalents? Unintuitive as that may be: Not necessarily, as a number of characteristics through which we quantify the strength or power of a character can remain unchanged when transitioning between higher and lower dimensions" and "Hence, a higher-dimensional entity can be both stronger or weaker than a lower-dimensional one, and thus, they are usually quantified based on their own feats, instead of dimensionality alone." But previously, it says "Are higher-dimensional beings infinitely larger than lower-dimensional equivalents? In a way, yes, though not how most would think when using this word." I'm confused on that - if the higher-dimensional being is composed of uncountably infinite lower-dimensional beings, wouldn't it have uncountably infinite more mass (assuming the higher-dimensional being has non-zero density) and thus uncountably infinite times more joules? If not, then why does the tiering system treat higher-dimensional beings as more powerful than lower-dimensional beings?
 
We stopped using direct dimensional tiering a while ago, now higher dimensions only give tiers like these if they explictly showcase a infinite gap between them and the lower worlds.

Being 5D With no info gives nothing.

Being 5D Viewing lower worlds as fiction or dreams or flat gives you tier 1 and above.

As for the size thing, as it says, they are only infinite sized in a way, not the normal one, their mass might work different or not be ouright infinite compared to them, is a cse by case, and thus we focus on feats and statements.
 
So, what I'm getting from this is:
No feats/anti-dimensional tiering feats = No dimensional tiering
Shown to have infinite strength over lowers = Dimensional tiering
Thanks for the explanation.

I'm still confused on "they are only infinite sized in a way, not the normal one." How does being composed of a sum of uncountably infinite slices make them only infinite size in a certain way? And "their mass might work different or not be outright infinite compared to them," does this mean that the masses for higher-dimensional beings might work differently for each work of fiction, or might work differently period? I guess what I'm saying is that if this was 100% the real world, how would this work? That'd help me understand the tiering system a lot better.

Since nobody has answered those parts (It's nice to get real-life explanations because that's what determines our tiering system - for instance, star busting is considered far stronger than planet busting due to stars being much harder to destroy than planets) and it's been 2 days, I will BUMP.
 
So if it's like 4D character seeing the world as a fiction or dreams, does that also applied it as tier 1 being?
