Description

We should do this so each flocker considers all agents within distance when calculating the separate heading vector as it is done in the other frameworks, now it just look for one, which means the total time it takes in Flocking-large benchmark is lower than it should be

Research direction

Start with the NetLogo implementation used by the Flocking-large benchmark and compare its separation-heading calculation with the corresponding implementations in the other frameworks. Confirm the current behavior and benchmark timing, then verify that the flockers consider all agents within the stated distance and that the benchmark reflects the corrected workload.
