Postnikov system: Definition, Homotopy groups of spheres & Whitehead tower

In homotopy theory, a branch of algebraic topology, a Postnikov system (or Postnikov tower) is a way of decomposing a topological space by filtering its homotopy type. For a space X {\displaystyle X} , this is a list of spaces { X n } n ≥ 0 {\displaystyle \{X_{n}\}_{n\geq 0}} where
