Homotopical stability refers to the phenomenon where certain topological spaces or objects exhibit a form of 'stability' in their higher homotopy groups as one moves through a specific category of spaces, typically as the dimension increases. This concept is crucial when considering the properties of spaces as they relate to their homotopy types, particularly how higher homotopy groups remain unchanged under various types of continuous deformations.
congrats on reading the definition of homotopical stability. now let's actually learn it.
