    - OOA 10-folding and stacking with additional row [i] based on linear OA(4¹⁸¹, 8388601, F₄, 21) (dual of [8388601, 8388420, 22]-code), using
      - discarding factors / shortening the dual code based on linear OA(4¹⁸¹, large, F₄, 21) (dual of [large, large−181, 22]-code), using
        the primitive expurgated narrow-sense BCH-code C(I) with length 16777215Â = 4¹²âˆ’1, defining interval IÂ =Â [0,20], and designed minimum distance dÂ â‰¥Â |I|+1Â =Â 22 [i]

(173, 194, large)-Net in Base 4 — Upper bound on s

There is no (173, 194, large)-net in base 4, because

19 times m-reduction [i] would yield (173, 175, large)-net in base 4, but
- mutually orthogonal hypercube bound [i]
