 Compact-metric representation by Cantor-space pullback

Given a continuous surjection $h:\Omega \to K$ from Cantor space to a nonempty compact metric space, the pullback $f\mapsto f\circ h$ is a unital isometric embedding of $C(K)$ into $C(\Omega )$. Transport a normalized positive linear functional to its image, take a positive extension from a unital subspace of C(K), and represent that extension on Cantor space. The pushforward measure $h_{\ast }P$ then represents the original functional.
