Not OP, but I'd answer...

A strong type system is your knowledge about the world, or more precisely, your modeled knowledge about what this world is or contains - the focus is more on data structures and data types, and that's as declarative as it can get with programming languages(?). I'd also call it to be holistic.

A procedural approach focussed more on how this world should be transformed - through the use of conditional branching and algorithms. The focus feels to be less on circumstances of this world, but more to be on temporary conditions of micro-states (if that makes any sense). I'd would call it to be reductionistic.
