Complete the sequence

 

{1, 32; 2, 31}  {....}...{....}....

 

Any suggestions as to what it represents?

Hint

{1, 32; 2, 31}, {?, ?; ?, ?}, {?, ?; ?, ?} , ...

It looks like a sequence of which only one member/instant has been posted.

If those are two instances i 'd either go for 3,21 or for 3, 30(though 3, 30 seems too simple)

Thanks

Each bracket is one term in the finite sequence and contains four numbers, which change from bracket to bracket.

The sequence has a modulus and cycles every  n terms around this modulus (in this case 32)

{1, 32; 2, 31}, {3, ?; 4, ?}, {?, ?; ?, ?} , ...

 

Hint 2 : Johannes was an old fashioned bookbinder.

Should it not be (32, 1; 2, 31)...?

Yes, your order, (32, 1; 2, 31)..., would be correct if the print job were to be set up for a Front to Back/Left to Right pamphlet or book.

However, I continued using the order that studiot had provide in his first 3 Posts,  {1, 32; 2, 31}, {3, ?; 4, ?}, {?, ?; ?, ?} , ...

 

The order might also be (1,32;31, 2)...,for a Back to Front/Right to Left pamphlet or book.

For example, a Japanese Manga : https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-read-manga/
