Using point attractor to pull/push other points.

Still new to Grasshopper and using fields & attractors. I'm trying to use several point attractors to pull other random points towards the attractors based strength by distance (simple enough, right?). I understand (kind of) how the point attractors can be used to modify the scale of circles, for example (like most basic tutorials show). However, I can't seem to get the random points to move towards the attractors properly. I'm sure it has to do with vectors and adding vectors, but I don't really understand how they work.

Thanks,

One more thing, I don't understand what the "Data with 3 Branches" or "Data with 1 Branch" are or where to find them.

I am attempting to produce these cluster so I can make dense regions of vertical members with paths winding through them. Is this something that can be achieved with this definition?
