Abstract
Taking inspiration from the monadicity of complete atomic Boolean algebras, we prove that profinite modal algebras are monadic over Set. While analyzing the monadic functor, we recover the universal model construction - a construction widely used in the modal logic literature for describing finitely generated free modal algebras and the essentially finite subframes of their canonical models.
