        I'm not sure if I follow you here. From my analysis, that is the
pattern used to code DCT coefficients. First, all of the DC coeffs are
decoded according to that pattern. Then all of the 1st AC coeffs, 2nd AC
coeffs, etc. 

        I don't see the pattern as having anything to do with DC
prediction. After all of the coeffs are unpacked and arranged in rows of
fragments, the DC prediction is reversed.
