Declarative construct is made of relations, but imperative execution isn't, rather it's a process in time, but time is not a thing in math.

Another misconception I'd say.

"Time is not a thing in math" is not understanding what math is. Time is another ideal object following certain rules under a given domain. Programming is coming up with objects of different size, with different characteristics, with interact at different points in time, i.e. following certain rules.
