    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.
