That surface sensitivity provided average total liquid pressure and also spot pressure caused by the movement of small currents. These currents were created by other solid objects moving through the liquid. The spot pressure they applied on the surface of the ship revealed information about their mass and motion; the solids here included blood cells, bacteria, hormonal molecules of all kinds, and other nanoships.
