Abstract
Functorial nearness structures and coreflections mesh tightly together. After presenting a new construction closely related to the completion of a nearness frame, this article shows a bijection exists between monocoreflections and strong, locally fine, completion stable, functorial nearness structures. This bijection gives a simple description of the monocoreflective subcategory generated by any class of frames.
