For every set Z, there is a self-adjoint contravariant functor Q=ENS(--,Z),
with unit/counit h:Id-->Q^op Q given by (h_X)(x)(f)=f(x).  Let Q-alg denote
the category of algebras for the monad induced by this self-adjunction.
If Z is not empty or a singleton, then the comparison functor ENS^op-->Q-alg
is an equivalence by results of M. Sobral.  If Z has two members, then Q-alg
is isomorphic to CaBool, the category of complete atomic Boolean algebras.
What is known about Q-alg if Z has more than two members (beyond the fact
that Q-alg and CaBool are equivalent)?
