The symbol for his parents' anti-Order movement represented textual criticism and identifying and removing errors from text.

Jonas's parents were lost at sea six years ago while sailing around the 140th longitude and no wreckage was ever found. Jonas explains this incident in his earlier videos and offers no explanation for their mysterious disappearance. He later mentions that they used to "do weird stuff", and that they were traveling all the time, or constantly out on their boat.

In later videos, more information about his parents begins to surface. His father was in an anti-Order movement and wrote a thesis on it, which was shared with many high-profile people. His parents also started a foundation, the goal of which has not been revealed yet.

When Jonas visits his aunt's house, he discovers a scrapbook of news clippings compiled by her. The initials of the people his father CC'd on the thesis matched the people who had disappeared. He takes this to mean that they had been in an uprising together and gotten snuffed out by the Order. Jonas assumes that the scrapbook shows that his aunt, Alex, is also anti-Order. Tachyon and Bree suspected otherwise and warned Jonas. When he confronts Alex, she confesses her true allegiances and that she did indeed betray his parents. Adding insult to injury, Alex claims that they are still alive and that they probably don't remember him.
