Subject: Address Prefix Ranges

In section 2.4 Address Type Representation  of  IPv6 Addressing RFC 
 
I see a pattern in the address prefixes. Many of them have their equivalent bitwise nots as other prefixes. Is there some reason behind assigning it this way. I am curious to know how these prefix ranges were chosen and why they are, the way they are currently assigned. 
 
Thanks
Alex
