Lithien, I am using so many categories of Quality that it gets confusing. First, as I see it, Quality is the overarching process that drives all of the processes of the universe, including sentience (humanity). This is what I call Universal Quality. There is a segment of Quality that applies to all of the processes of the universe except sentientce (human Quality). This is what I have been calling inorganic Quality. This is misleading in that it also applies to the non-sentient (biological) segment of evolution. That portion of the biological level that evolved prior to humanity. Perhaps I should just call it non-sentient Quality. There is a segment of Quality that applies only to the sentient (human) portion of the universe. This is what I call sentient Quality. I feel it necessary to make these distinctions because the only place that evil enters the process is during sentient Quality. This doesn't mean that all sentient Quality is evil, just that the possibility exists. The operation of Quality in all other aspects of universal evolution exhibits value and morality. Pirsig discusses "Truth" in about the second page of chapter eight in Lila. In the Bantam hardback edition it is on pages 99 and 100.
