Let be a -algebra with at least two elements, and suppose is an isomorphism. For every -algebra , precomposition with gives a bijection
By the free-forgetful adjunction this is
For one set with at least two elements, bijectivity of this precomposition forces to be bijective: surjectivity detects injectivity of , and injectivity detects surjectivity. Thus is an isomorphism. The free functor reflects isomorphisms, completing the cycle of equivalences.
