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?
