contents Frobenius algebras in the category of sets and relations ($\mathbf{Rel}$) serve as a unifying framework for various algebraic and combinatorial structures, including groupoids, effect algebras, and abstract circles. Recently, a nerve construction of simplicial sets for Frobenius algebras in $\mathbf{Rel}$ has been introduced. In this work, we investigate the lifting properties of these simplicial sets, linking them to the algebraic properties of Frobenius algebras. We introduce $ε$-simplicial sets -- simplicial sets with marked edges -- that enable the representation of a broader class of structures, such as test spaces from quantum logic. Our main results focus on weakly saturated classes generated by cofibrations, corresponding to specific lifting problems. Furthermore, we provide a characterization of Frobenius algebras in $\mathbf{Rel}$ within the framework of $ε$-simplicial sets. These findings lay the groundwork for the development of a convenient model structure in future research.
