Editing Leech lattice (section)

===As a laminated lattice===

Starting with a single point, Λ<sub>0</sub>, one can stack copies of the lattice Λ<sub>n</sub> to form an (''n''&nbsp;+&nbsp;1)-dimensional lattice, Λ<sub>''n''+1</sub>, without reducing the minimal distance between points. Λ<sub>1</sub> corresponds to the [[integer lattice]], Λ<sub>2</sub> is to the [[hexagonal lattice]], and Λ<sub>3</sub> is the [[face-centered cubic]] packing. {{harvtxt|Conway|Sloane|1982b}} showed that the Leech lattice is the unique laminated lattice in 24 dimensions.
