Oct 25, 2019 at 16:29 comment added Julian Newman I've now hopefully considerably improved the wording of my questions (especially Q2) to reflect this. Thank you very much, LSpice, for the useful comment.

clarified question
Oct 24, 2019 at 17:34 comment added Julian Newman I'm also viewing Q1 from a similar point of view, even though (given the structure of $X$) this can be formulated without the use of soft terms.
Oct 24, 2019 at 17:27 comment added Julian Newman For Q2, indeed I'm not thinking in terms of proving results about the general property of being "nicely conjugate to a two-point motion"; I'm not even necessarily thinking in terms of "everyone can tell" results. It seems to me that much of dynamical systems theory concerns not only obtaining final results, but also developing techniques for proving results and/or constructing counterexamples within particular classes of problems. It is from this point of view that I am picturing Q2, with "tractable" referring to the usefulness for whatever broader question is being addressed.
Oct 24, 2019 at 16:06 comment added LSpice 'Tractable', 'not too difficult', and 'explicitly' do not seem like defined terms, so it's hard to see how you could prove anything about them (except possibly positive results, where "everyone can tell" that a certain conjugacy is 'tractable').
