JCSBimp's Hexagonal Orthogonal

What you see here is an attempt to look for patterns in the distribution of remainders that result from subtracting the first several smallest composite numbers from their Ceiling Squares, an ever-growing triangle of numbers made by taking ever-increasing values of s, with values of t less than s, relatively prime to s, even when s is odd, and odd when s is even, calculating m=s²-t² from that, finding m’s Ceiling Square, and then producing the resultant remainder. I’ve placed the text file where I calculated all of these values right after, for reference’s sake. The top legend row of numbers is the values subtracted from the numbers running down the left side, the s values, to get t values. I did not start with 1 because s²-(s-1)² suggests only the trivial factorization of odd integer 2s-1 for any s, and thus all odd integers, prime or composite.

Notice the diagonal-downward rows and double-rows of numbers. Study of these patterns, as always, seems like it could be fruitful. There are also weird things happening, marked “??” on the table and sometimes annotated in the text file that follows.
