How do you make functions that take a variable that is not defined?
#4
Or do you mean the fact that unquoted TOP and X are available as values? These have been defined somewhere. The convention is that any variable in all capitals is a global constant. So somewhere in the library it might define
TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT = 1, 2, 3, 4
X, Y = 1, 2
or any other convenient values for them.

If the code uses expressions like TOP+BOTTOM then they're probably defined as distinct powers of 2, so that all such sums are different values:
TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT = 1, 2, 4, 8
