Question: What role does t play in the plot command below?

The commands below are from a response by Carl Love to a question posed on February 27, 2016.

Variable t is not mentioned in the plot of f. Does t assume one or more particular values in the construction of the plot?

When t is given a specific value before executing the plot command, the resulting plot appears to be independent of t's value.

What is the logic behind the plot's construction?

f:= cos(2*t/m) + cos(2*(t+5)/m):
plot('maximize'(f), m= 1..10);
