So basically a certain energy allows to bring forth certain particles into being through laws of physics. How does the universe know the laws, how is it encoded? Sorry if I am vague!

The universe simply is, and “laws” is what we know about what/how it is. For example, the law: “Things consist of atoms.” The universe does not “know” this law, we do.
