Spatial and temporal locality can be a thing. And depending on how you take them into account they can be more or less clear categories
Note that in There is no Antimemetics Division, the anti-memes are persistent, independent entities, not information: they have an existence that is material, it's the information about them that cannot be communicated (it's an antimeme). So maybe a good starting point would be to ask ourselves what facts and patterns exists in the world that resist being noticed and communicated.

My opinion is that SCP-3125 is something like game theory, or death anxiety, or knowing the most effective way to make money (which is applied game theory), that if everyone thinks about it too much, destroys the world.
These are your type 4 antimemes. Death anxiety leads to the rational conclusion that nothing is worth doing so you might as well just die immediately, and this takes the idea with it. (Healthy humans have developed irrational ways to suppress this.) Perfect knowledge of game theory leads to a cut-throat world where not much survives, again taking most of the idea with it, as well as every idea that's not part of the optimal winning strategy.

Interesting your type 4 final stage nihilism, not sure if it will consider a type 4 given that it only self destructive.
