Representations, irreducibility and equivalence
Representations without a unit equation, nonzero irreducibility and unitary equivalence set the language of the theorem. The singleton condition names one representative of the unique nonzero irreducible class.

Pure states and faithfulness
A pure state detects a hypothetical nonzero kernel element and its GNS representation is irreducible. Unitary equivalence to the singleton representative then contradicts that kernel element, giving faithfulness and the related simplicity consequence.

Characters, eigenvectors and a scalar corner
Characters of a maximal abelian subalgebra of the unitization extend to pure states. A character distinct from the scalar character yields a joint unit eigenvector in the singleton model. Countability and an isolated non-scalar character then give a nonzero scalar-corner projection and its rank-one image.

Every compact operator has a preimage
One represented rank-one projection yields every rank-one operator using dense orbits. Closed-range and compact approximation arguments put all compact operators in the image of the original algebra.

Every represented operator is compact
The preimage ideal of compact operators and a separating character exclude a noncompact represented image. The contradiction uses the same projection while forcing the character to take both zero and one.

Compact-operator models and unital consequences
Faithfulness and both compact-image inclusions identify the nonunital compact-operator model in an unbundled sense. In the unital singleton case the identity becomes compact, yielding finite dimension and the exact full-operator image consequences.
