A Postnikov system is a concept in algebraic topology, specifically in the study of homotopy theory. It is a type of construction used to analyze the homotopy type of a space by breaking it down into simpler pieces that reflect certain homotopical features. More formally, a Postnikov system consists of a tower of spaces and maps that encode the information of the homotopy groups of a space.
