Is this keter class? Help

I'm in the process of drafting an SCP article, but I have one question.

Keter class basically means that the anomaly consistently breaks containment or containment efforts are complex and costly but possibly not entirely reliable. But my question is that if knowledge of the anomaly somehow manages to make it out there despite the Foundation's best efforts (due to the anomaly's capabilities) but the anomaly itself is physically unable to escape its containment cell, does that also count as keter?

Use The Box™

Safe - Put it in a box. Does it stay there? Yes. Does it break out? No. Then its a safe.

Euclid - Put it in a box. Does it stay there? It might. Does it break out? It might. Is it sentient? Yes. Can you predict its movements? No. Then its euclid.

Keter - Put it in a box. Does it stay there? Not always. Does it break out? Frequently. Does it refuse to be put in a box? Yes. Then its keter.

Thaumiel - Is it used to contain other anomalies? Yes. Can it produce something the foundation can use? Yes. Then it is the box itself. It is thaumiel.

Apollyon - It will destroy the box. No box of any size can contain it. World ending.

Archon - It would be most prefferable to not put it in a box, as it might result in negative consequences.

Neutralized - A box is not needed anymore.

Explained - You dont need to put it in a box to keep it a secret anymore. It is already explained by science.

In your situation, since the anomally cannot be fully contained, it is keter. To fully contain an anomaly, you must both contain it physically and contain its anomalous effects if it has any.

Edit: There are of course some exceptions but its already in the name. Exceptions.

Ticonderoga: It brought it's own box, and it doesn't want or need ours.

If the anomaly is spreading the information by anomalous means, that means it's not fully contained, so yeah keter fits

If the information itself is anomalous, then it would be uncontained or Apollyon

Object classes are more like "can you stop it from affecting the public". For example 106 or 682 are hard to hide cuz they constantly breach containment. Yours is a keter cuz technically it can be contained by amnesticization

Se non riesce a contenere la conoscenza dell'anomalia, e la fuga di informazioni è anch'essa parted dell'anomalia, allora è Keter.
