Dimensions are not directions, but they correlate heavily enough to where that's mostly just semantics anyway, at least under most definitions of the word "dimension".
Saying that A>C and B>C does not imply that A and B are equivalent. It just implies that they're comparable in the sense that they're both greater than C. That alone says nothing about how much greater A and B are or the extent to which A and B are alike. Regarding the inverse example of "no matter how much 'realer' it is, it wouldn't be given extra dimensions", that's besides the point. The dimensions of the "real" object are inherently superior to the dimensions of the unreal object per Ultima's arguments. They aren't the same type of dimensions. It wouldn't really make sense to try to assign "real" dimensionality to something that is inherently unreal, anyway.
