So my question is always...'Are they following each other, or are they all reacting to stimuli the same way?'

In this caseAt 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.

There's no real difference between those two positions.If they follow each other, that's reacting to stimuli in the same way; if they're all reacting to stimuli in the same way, in practice that necessarily means they follow each other.

There's no real difference between jumping off a cliff and not jumping off a cliff.Well I mean yes, there's a difference, but it's a similar kind of difference.

What about that pair of butterflies in the field of flowersAre they just both following the smell or following each other?
