I'm not sure I follow. Imperative/Declarative in the programming sense is no different from the speech sense, is it? Quickly skimming the wikipedia page [1] for imperative mood makes it look similar enough to me. The page for imperative programming [2] references the grammar page, even.

As for the state, I think in life everything has state. Kids are quickly learning which ones have states that they care about. It is not uncommon to see them learn that cups filled with water need to be held a certain way, otherwise they spill.

Now, like more formalisms, computing and programming is much more strict. But that is a matter of rigor, moreso than of form. That is, it is the same form, just not forgiving in syntax/content.

Though, seriously, if I am abusing terms here please let me know. Is not my intent.
