[SCP Foundation] How does the SCP foundation contain SCP-033?

Ok, there's a secret integer, and the foundation have it on a piece of paper they keep locked away. Fine. But how does that keep it locked away? If I write "2" on a piece of paper and stick it in a vault, that doesn't secure the number 2, does it? I just have a piece of paper, and things still come in pairs outside the vault.

If its a number it's just...in the world, surely? Having the symbols used to describe it on a piece of paper doesn't change anything. The *number* is still around waiting for someone to notice it.

I know there are unsustainable or incomplete containment, but this just seems pointless. How does writing an equation for a number down and locking it up do *anything* about the actual number?

It's a number that doesn't fit in our current understanding of mathematics.

The necessary containment would be "watching universities to see if any professors go crazy screaming about the discovery of a new number."

The SCP is basically self containing anyways, it can't be stored on digital storage, any computer that tried to calculate it would crash, and any college student that accidentally stumbled on it would just assume they were making a mistake somewhere.
