//! The general **Eilenberg–MacLane construction `K(A, n)`** — one engine, every rung of the tower.
//!
//! `two_type` built `K(A, 2)` by hand. Every space in the Postnikov tower is glued from `K(πₙ, n)`'s, so
//! the honest way to "keep climbing" is to build the *general* `K(A, n)` for any `n`, not a fresh module
//! per dimension. This is the Dold–Kan model `Γ(A[n])`: an `m`-simplex is an `A`-labeling of the
//! order-preserving **surjections `[m] ↠ [n]`** (the chain complex is concentrated in degree `n`, so a
//! face that fails to stay surjective dies — `C_{n−1} = C_{n+1} = 0`). It is a simplicial abelian group,
//! hence a Kan complex, and we verify by enumeration, for `n = 2, 3`:
//!
//! - **`πₙ = A`**: the inner horn at degree `n` has `|A|` fillers — the `n`-cells.
//! - **Kan**: every horn fills (the face-tuple map is onto the compatible horns).
//! - **exactly `n`-truncated**: inner horns at degree `n + 2` fill *uniquely* — no `π_{n+1}`.
//!
//! `n = 3` is the first genuine **3-type object** the framework possesses (`K(A, 2)` was the first 2-type).
