[ASM & Hex] Hex Question

[MagallanesX]

Hello,
I noticed many here are what I consider fluent in Hex editing.
I have a background in Computer Science, but I want to further understand a concept I cannot yet grasp in Hex Editing which is inhibiting my ability to script.

I understand that fundamentally everything is a number which is all data is.
Everything has a number attached to it from a state to movements an NPC makes.

But how can I see what each flag or variable is in a rom? Where can I find what gives each two digit hex value its inherit meaning?
I want to be good enough to know how to omit the intro of a game just by understanding how the hex works.

Thank you!
