It seems that Sailor Mercury's higher dimensional manipulation was remvoed from her profile. It should be placed back.
Sailor Mercury has an attack called Hyper Dimensional Space Emerge in the original Japanese. It is localized as Super Dimensional Sphere Emerge or Hyperspatial Sphere Generate. The ability essentially does what it is called in Japanese, it creates hyper dimensional space.

We know that the space that Sailor Mercury created or brought the cast to is higher dimensional space in terms of number of axes because she specifically stated to have used time-axis calculations to do the move.
It is as straight forward as it gets.
NOTE: Because I know someone will bring this argument up, as it always gets brought up...
Argument: "Just because it's called Hyper Dimensional Space Emerge" doesn't mean she's emerging a hyper dimensional space."
1. This is a net zero argument. While "just because something is called x doesn't mean it entails x" can be true the reverse, "something is called x because it entails x" can also be true. This argument also ignores the fact that her ability needs mathematical calculations of axes.
2. This argument is most valid when the depiction or context of an attack doesn't match the name. This is not the case, as Sailor Mercury is seen very well creating a space of some kind. The name simply tells the reader quickly what type of space it is as well as with the additional information that it requires mathematical calculations of axes.
3. Nothing else contradicts the attack name.
