Don't worry, Cheliax. Keltham is a programmer.*
He may not yet have an intuition for everybody being out to fuck him all of the time, but he sure does have an intuition for asking "Well, what if this measurement here was broken and returned negative a trillion gold pieces?" If you try to make sure you can't be screwed over in a contract by malicious gods, you'll catch a lot of human malice along the way.
(*) A dath ilani concept essentially untranslatable to Taldane in its connotations and origins; the two-syllable word 'programmer' has an expanded six-syllable form that reads creator-of-raw-causality, where 'creator' in turn implies 'one who accepts responsibility for all consequences of creation whether intended or not' (the same word that appears in expanded 'parent' as 'creator-of-people') and 'raw-causality' means 'raw math, close to the bare bones of reality'. The nearest Taldane translation is in fact 'creator-god' if creator-gods worked to a much smaller scale.
