Sure I'd like to find the transforms that bring the system to its
optimal state, but I'm assuming it won't get there in one step.

As I think I've said twice already.  Though I use the word "torque"
for want of a better, I'm not interested in kinetics, angular
momentum, animation, anything like that.
