They're Lisp symbols used only as symbols.  So they're not really
"defined" anywhere.[1]

Footnotes: 

[1] Well, the symbol will get created the first time the reader finds
it, so I guess it's defined in the first file that's compiled that
contains that symbol.  In a more modern style, there would be a
defpackage form that would list exported symbols, and these symbols
would probably be there.
