1-1=>1-2=>1-3=>1-4=>2-1=>2-2=>...8-1=>8-2=>8-3=>8-4

The sequence you provided can be described as a pattern of pairs (or tuples) that follow a specific order. Each pair consists of two numbers. The first number in each pair represents a group, and the second number represents an element within that group. 

Here's a breakdown of the pattern:

1. **First Element (Group Number)**: The first element increases by 1 after every 4 pairs. It starts from 1 and goes up to 8.
   - For example: \(1, 1, 1, 1\), \(2, 2, 2, 2\), ..., \(8, 8, 8, 8\).

2. **Second Element (Element Number)**: The second element cycles through the values 1 to 4 for each group.
   - For example: \(1, 2, 3, 4\) repeats within each group.

Given this understanding, the sequence can be described by:

\[
(n, m) \text{ where } n = \left\lceil \frac{k}{4} \right\rceil \text{ and } m = (k-1) \mod 4 + 1 \text{ for } k = 1, 2, 3, \ldots, 32
\]

Where \(k\) is the position in the sequence (from 1 to 32).

Here are the first few pairs as per your sequence:

\[
(1, 1) \Rightarrow (1, 2) \Rightarrow (1, 3) \Rightarrow (1, 4) \Rightarrow (2, 1) \Rightarrow (2, 2) \Rightarrow \ldots \Rightarrow (8, 1) \Rightarrow (8, 2) \Rightarrow (8, 3) \Rightarrow (8, 4)
\]

### Summary
- **First Element**: Increases by 1 every 4 steps.
- **Second Element**: Cycles through 1 to 4 repeatedly.
