nonalternating

Never switching back

Nonalternating describes something that doesn't switch back and forth between states or positions.

In mathematics, a nonalternating sequence maintains the same sign or pattern rather than cycling between positive and negative values.

More generally, it describes any process or arrangement that stays consistent rather than varying: The nonalternating current flowed steadily in one direction.
