 Cyclic multiplication model for a normal operator

The continuous functional calculus of a bounded normal operator $T$ is a representation of $C(K)$, with $K=\sigma (T)$. The Riesz-Markov-Kakutani representation theorem represents $f\mapsto ⟨f(T)v,v⟩$ by a positive regular measure ${\mu }_v$. The assignment $f\mapsto f(T)v$ is isometric for the $L^2({\mu }_v)$ norm, and extends to a unitary map onto the closed cyclic subspace it generates. Multiplication by $z$ and $\overline{z}$ represent $T$ and $T^{\ast }$. Orthogonal decomposition into cyclic reducing subspaces, allowing an uncountable family, constructs the Borel functional calculus for a normal operator without requiring separability.
