Dimensions need not be a problem for a mathematical model.  We plot time and distance on an XY cartesian plane.  We certainly don't think of time as a spatial dimension.  Yet it can be considered a vector from an analytical perspective.
So, consider a the state of "God" and state of "Mortal" as variables which can be analyzed as a dimension.

Luke 8: 38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

For context, previous versions of the Handbook omit the step that states the authority of the priesthood. Because of this it was assumed that it was not, strictly speaking, a priesthood ordinance. The current version of the Handbook includes this step and specifies that it is done by a Melchizedek priesthood holder.

The second Official Declaration doesn’t contain the revelation, it declares that there was a revelation. This post claimed to have the revelation.
I looked for the post I was talking about and it looks like I’m conflating two events. There was a blog showing how easily a revelation could have been created to put the priesthood ban behind us, demonstrating with a really weak “revelation”. There was also a phony online article stating President Nelson met with the NAACP and apologized. As part of the apology the First Presidency stated “that the ban itself was wrong. It was not of God but of fallible men, born of ignorance, pride and sin”. The prophet had indeed met with the NAACP, but the apology and statement were wholly fabricated.
To clarify the fallout, there are many saints who would love for the Church to simply say exactly what the bogus press release said. They were excited and exultant when they saw it finally happen, then confused when the linked article didn’t exactly say that, then disappointed and hurt when it proved false.

Some years ago a blogger leaked a copy of the revelation President Kimball received in 1978 lifting the priesthood ban. The blogger quickly revealed that he made it up after it went viral and people were getting emotional over it. But many people thought it was authentic. Even many saints thought it was authentic. The language was clunky and the doctrinal justification in it was not very sound, but still many saints thought it was authentic.
The fallout was exactly what you described. Emotionally-attached members were disappointed that it wasn’t authentic, and wounded that a textual revelation wasn’t extant, while critics held it up as an example of how easy it is to create a revelation and that the Church should simply produce one.

Anyone remember him? He was a very active member of the site for a long time and helped a lot with the Ask Gramps website for awhile.  I realized that I had not heard from him in quite some time and found out he passed away last year.  
I found his obituary.  Ryan Christopherson

Write about Elijah's ascension in the style of Joseph Smith
chat
Verily, verily, I declare unto all people of the world, that Elijah the prophet hath truly ascended into heaven. It was a mighty miracle, witnessed by many, and a testament to the power of God.
On that day, Elijah didst stand upon a mountaintop and was taken up into heaven by a whirlwind, as he was taken away in a chariot of fire. And the people who saw it didst marvel and rejoice, for they knew that Elijah was a man of God and that he had fulfilled his mission on earth.
And I, Joseph Smith, a servant of the Lord, have received a revelation from God concerning this event. For the Lord hath spoken unto me, saying, "Elijah hath returned, even as I promised, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to the fathers, lest the whole earth be smitten with a curse."
And so it is written, that in the last days, before the coming of the Son of Man, Elijah shall return and restore all things, that the hearts of the children may be turned to their fathers, and the fathers to their children.
Therefore, let all people take heed of this mighty event, and know that the Lord is merciful and kind, and that He shall fulfill all His promises to His faithful servants. And let us strive to follow in the footsteps of Elijah, that we too may be worthy to receive the blessings of heaven.

Maybe ask ChatGPT to explain it because … I don’t get it.

ChatGPT is a wonderful insight into 1st world, mostly American, mainstream cultural opinions.

Nonsense. I knew tons of fellow missionaries when I was on mine in the early 90s who had just such sensibilities.

Finally!! A description of the Celestial Kingdom that sings to me

When I lived in Moscow, I became good friends with an inactive, endowed, sealed member of the Church. It was shocking how many things she had forgotten not only about our beliefs, but also about the structure of the Church (e.g. she couldn't remember what a 70 is).  Thankfully, by the time I left Moscow, she was RS President.   But I pondered a bit on how it was that she could have forgotten so much, and this is my conclusion:
In every case, it was knowledge they had previously received that would be taken away.  Seeing how that happened to someone else was one more motivation for me not to lose the things God has given me.

Never forget that this baby STOLE the third’s youthright!!!!
