In this case
At least in my simulation, they all share a common goal, although each one might target a slightly different spot. Like, they're not all going to point (100,100,100) but like that spot +/- 50.
One theory is that those flocks work by the members only observing how far apart they are from others. If you were walking down the street with two of your friends, you wouldn't have to worry about where you're going if you just stayed between them. I'd guess that, in that case, changes in direction are dictated by members on the edges of the flock.
Also, hat tip to you, old fellow.
