"Dualizing the finite level"

Last week, Justin proved the Duality Compactness Theorem, which reduces the task of proving a duality to proving it “at the finite level,” that is, for the finite algebras in the quasi-variety ISP(M), at least for alter egos with a finite signature. This week I will present a characterization of when an alter ego dualizes the finite algebras in ISP(M). The characterization is especially useful when the term operations of M are understood.
