[MD] What is the opposite of Quality?

[MarshaV]

>> Ham:
>> Pirsig has equated Quality with Value, stating that "a thing that has no value doesn't exist:."  His epistemology is correct, in that things (objective phenomena) are experiential constructs or representations of value-sensibility.  He is wrong, however, in assuming that Quality or Value exists apart from that sensibility.  If there is no sensibility, there is no experience, in which case neither things nor Value can be realized.  An unrealized world doesn't exist.  The "opposite" of Quality is Nothingness.

I mean the above statement only from my point-of-view;  I have no 
claim on the truth.
