Idea Clause Projected By Impinging Mental Process Clause

it

that God is a metaphor
Sub-
Finite/Predicator
Complement
-ject
Pheno-
Process: mental: emotion (?)
Senser
-menon


Note that difference here lies in the fact that, in the first example, the mental clause projects the attributive clause into "semiotic existence", whereas in the second example, the attributive clause already existed as a pre-projected fact which caused the Senser to be surprised.
