Or does it make more sense what self-subsists is the source of all laws?
I don't know, I'm not used to thinking in these terms and am not sure what they mean. But my view from my physics would rather be that particles are just states of a whole, the wobbly spacetime with fields in it adhering to laws. Particles are more like a symptom of the universe to borrow from Sabbath, than the fundamental thing on which it is based.
