'Impinging' Sensing Realised Metaphorically As Happening: Senser As Scope

the thought	crossed	my mind
Medium Actor	Process: material	Range Scope	metaphorical
Agent Phenomenon	Process: mental	Medium Senser	congruent

cf the alternative construal as Qualitative Process:

the thought	crossed (‘made cross’)	my mind
Agent Attributor	Process/Range Process: relational/Attribute	Medium Carrier

Idea Clause Projected By Impinging Mental Process Clause

it	struck	her	that	God	is	a metaphor
Subject	Finite/Predicator	Complement	‘	Subject	Finite	Complement
	Process: mental: cognition	Senser	‘	Carrier	Process: relational	Attribute

cf

it	surprised	her	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.
