has anyone actually defined what constitutes 'insurrection'

That's several analytical steps away from what the Court is seeming to focus on, at least initially.

They are always going to look for the threshold issues first, which in this case are at least (1a) state authority over ballot eligibility and (1b) the applicability of Section 3 to POTUS. If they find in favor of Trump on either of those things, they don't have to even get into "insurrection" if they don't want to.

thanx - that seems to be what is happening

but is not the core concern =

"first - is what happened on J6 really an insurrection - under what definition - under what determination - under what action taken in response?

"second - IF there really is a technical finding of 'yes - it was an insurrection' - THEN - did Trump participate in the 'insurrecction' or did he incite the 'insurrection'?
