  1. monotonic

    Monotonic refers to a sequence, function, or relationship that consistently either increases or decreases in value. It follows an ordered pattern without changing direction. The term is often used in mathematics or statistics, where a monotonic sequence could either be entirely non-increasing or non-decreasing at each point throughout. Also, a monotonic function is one that either continually increases or continually decreases. Essentially, knowing one point in a monotonic function or sequence can inform you about all other points.
