PNC (Aristotle) as a defence for being

So, in Politis Ch. 6, Sec. 8, we start to see the way in which being will function via particulars and their existence.  The fact that we can only really speak of actual things, and not indeterminate objects lends to the notion that being is conceptually justified via objects having sensible, specific nature.  In terms of the PNC, this specific, sensible nature is by way of something being x and not both x and not-x.  (What has yet to clear the cobwebs of my mind is the explanation of objects that are in it of themselves and not dependent upon a more primary object for its existence.
