 In this fashion, the reasons one has for making a statement are specified at the object-language level. The Immanent Reasoning framework distinguishes local reasons and strategic reasons. Local reasons are brought forth in particular plays, whereas strategic reasons are a recapitulation of all the possible plays: local reasons provide relevant and sufficient means for winning a play, but in general a local reason does not provide the appropriate ground for constituting a winning strategy. Strategic reasons entitle to make assertions, i.e.,  provide relevant and sufficient means for constituting a winning strategy justifying an assertion. The word “statement” is used for the posits that have not yet reached the level of a justified assertion.
