Laws of nature and the fundamental particles that everything is made of - but also, while a table itself is just a collection of atoms arranged in a convenient shape, the thing we *mean* by the word "table" is an actual thing that has causal power in the universe. A corner, however, cannot exist in a vacuum. It has to be part of an object rather than an object itself.
