COMMENTS
The lexicode of Hamming distance d is constructed greedily by stepping through the binary vectors in lexicographic order and accepting a vector if it is at Hamming distance at least d from all already-chosen vectors.
The code is linear and infinite.
This is also the (infinite) d=4 Hamming code.
Lexicodes with even Hamming distance can be constructed from the preceding lexicode of odd Hamming distance by prepending a single parity bit.
