what does this phrase mean? Can someone explain in everyday language what " _monotonically_ " and " _quadrilaterally_ " mean in the following sentence? > Muscular torques increase _monotonically_ with increasing diameter for lids with rough grip surfaces and _quadrilaterally_ for smooth grips.

"Quadrilaterally" is probably what a confused person wrote when they meant "quadratically". And "monotonically" in the usage of mathematicians would simply mean that one of the quanitities, muscular torque, always increases as the other one, diameter, increases, as opposed to sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing depending on the diamater. But in this case I suspect it's another confused usage and maybe "linearly" was meant.
