   Format: MarkdownItexat _[[Postnikov tower]]_ in the section _[Construction for simplicial sets](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Postnikov+system#ConStructionForSimplicialSets)_ I made explicit three different models. Two of them were discussed there before, the third I have now added. Briefly. Deserves to be expanded.

   Format: MarkdownItexI had gotten myself mixed up about some fibration issue the other day, so I will speak out loud the following here before adding it to the entry: consider $f \colon X \to Y$ a morphism of _strict_ $\infty$/$\omega$-groupoids (globular sets equipped with etc.). Then for $n \in \mathbb{N}$ the [[n-image]]/$(n-1)$-relative Postnikov stage of $f$ is presented by the strict $\infty$-groupoid $im_n(f)$ such that * the $(k \lt n-1)$-morphisms are those of $X$; * the $(k = n-1)$-morphisms are equivalence classes of those of $X$, with two regarded as equivalent if their images under $f$ coincide; * the $(k \geq n)$-morphisms are those of $Y$. I hope I got this right now...
