Cylinder premeasure from a positive functional ($\ell (A)=\varphi (1_A)$)

A normalized positive linear functional on $C(\Omega )$ for Cantor space gives a finitely additive set function on the algebra of clopen sets. If a countable disjoint union of such sets is itself clopen, compactness gives a finite subcover; all other terms are empty. Finite additivity therefore gives the required countable additivity, making $\ell$ a premeasure. The Caratheodory extension theorem produces a unique Borel probability measure.
