Quotient-freeness conjecture for relational wiring-diagram algebras

Let S\mathcal{S} be the singly typed wiring diagrams operad. For a set AOb(Set)A\in\operatorname{Ob}({\bf Set}), let RelAOb(SAlg)\mathcal{R}\textnormal{el}_A\in\operatorname{Ob}(\mathcal{S}\text{--}{\bf Alg}) be the relational algebra of type AA. An algebra RR is quotient-free if, for every other S\mathcal{S}-algebra PP and epimorphism f ⁣:RPf\colon R\rightarrow P, either ff is an isomorphism or PP is isomorphic to the terminal algebra {}S\{*\}^{\mathcal{S}}. Quotient-freeness conjecture. The relational algebra RelA\mathcal{R}\textnormal{el}_A is quotient-free.
