This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I’ve more of a math background than cs so monotonic is a word I know well but it apparently means something slightly different to me. Monotonicity isn’t mentioned anywhere in that link.

okay, for some reason, I feel the need to help.

The given link defines the function that creates a UUID:

uuid.uuid4(): Generate a random UUID.

In mathematics, can you generate a monotonic function by generating random numbers?

Thanks for trying to explain it. I was hung up on thinking all UUIDs looked like UUID v4. I read up a little on UUID v7 and it’s making sense. Probably should’ve done that sooner.
