there is no pattern.
i can exactly tell you why:

The creator of the puzzle posted already, that he created a wallet and masked the keys to match in the key range with 0
Therefore 256 adresses have been generated and he just put as many 000 to fit in. So it is kinda random.
No rythm, no nothing involved.

I partially agree that the directions are random, but when generating the prediction using linear regression the prediction does not seem to behave as random. If that were the case, my results should be close to a 50 average difference and this does not seem to be the case as the average comes out to 27,81. See the Differ column
