Is there some interesting result in number theory that led you to take the absolute value of the differences?

I wish I could say I knew of some interesting result, but I did it only out of fascination. However, if you look closely at the two triangles, you can see some interesting pattens. For example, they each have a triangle of 0's on the right side of them, bordered by 2's. I think I remember reading about this occurrence (which I'm pretty sure appears in more places than just these two triangles I happened to choose), but I can't seem to remember where.
