Re: Wait, try this...

Interpenetration is one translation of pratītyasamutpāda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratītyasamutpāda), also translated as "dependent arising", related to the metaphor of Indra's Net. Roughly: all 'things' in reality are mutually entangled in a web of cause and effect; no one thing stands in a privileged position relative to everything else. In this context, it means there's no God, no governor, and no secret masters.
