Okay, I'll throw out a curve ball to get David's proposed new thread started 
...

With all due respect to Pirsig, he has presented us with a conundrum.  He 
suggests a term for the fundamental metaphysical reality that, by his own 
admission, cannot -- indeed, MUST not -- be defined, although it is 
existentially understood to be man's sense of the relative value, 
significance or worth of an experience.

Any batters on the MD team willing to take a swing at that?

Happy fielding!
