Like in Merriam Websters online eighth definition of quality?
"8. the attribute of an elementary sensation that makes IT fundamentally
unlike any other sensation"
No, "it" is an event that has similarities with any event.

[Pirsig's final Lila words]
Good as a noun rather than an adjective is all the Metaphysics of Quality is
about. Of course, the ultimate Quality isn't a noun or an adjective or
anything else definable,(such as a verb) but if you had to reduce the whole
Metaphysics of Quality to a single sentence, that would be it. (a noun)
Dave
Exact, but "it" as verb, making a complete sentence. It.
I know that it's my addition to make the Metaphysic toolbox work in
practice.
