local

In Go, the Local area is the current area of tactical, scoring-related or evaluation-related focus.

The opposite of local is global.

When specifying some particular set of intersections to be scored or evaluated, such a set is sometimes called the locale.

For Japanese style rules, a differerent, unrelated^[1] definition of "local" can be found in the Japanese 2003 Rules.
