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.

OK. Thanks.

I agree, everything does effect everything else. But there is a point to Buddhism, which is that positive change can happen (alleviation of suffering), and it can be done with a combination of Right awareness and Right actions. Yes?

Also, this doesn't seem to mean that there is "no God" only that the idea of "God" would have to include everything codependently. :-)

It means there's no God in the technical sense that there is no first cause or unmoved mover.
