Is there any documentation on this anywhere?

Does class << self is creating an unnamed subclass?

How do the members end up belonging to the class not an instance (although
each instance also has it's own copies)? Where are the instances of those
class variables created and initialized?

I've tried it and they work exactly as you have intended, I just want to
know why.

Excuse the stupid questions.
