when x is defined as True(L,x) then x is not a truth bearer.

Then ~True(L,p) can't be a truth beared as they are the SAME STATEMENT, just using different "names".

Truthbearer(L,x) ≡ (True(L,x) ∨ True(L,~x))
p = ~True(L,p) Truthbearer(L,p) is false
q = ~True(L,p) Truthbearer(L,q) is true

Just like (with context) YOU can be refered to a PO, Peter, Peter Olcott or Olcott, and all the reference get to the exact same entity, so any "name" for the express

True(L,p) is false
True(L,~p) is false

So since True(L, p) is false, then ~True(L, p) is true.

~True(True(L,p)) is true and is referring to the p that refers
to itself it is not referring to its own self.

*ONE LEVEL OF INDIRECT REFERENCE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE*
Why add the indirection? p is the NAME of the statement, which means exactly the same thing as the statement itself.

p = ~True(L,p)
does not mean that same thing as True(L, ~True(L,p))
The above ~True(L, p) has another ~True(L,p) embedded in p.

Is the definition of an English word one level LESS of indirection than the word itself?

This sentence is not true("This sentence is not true") is true.

I don't think you understand what it means to define something.

x := y means x is defined to be another name for y
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols
LP := ~True(L, LP)
specifies ~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(...)))))

"Definition by example" is worse than "Proof by example", at least proof by example can be correct if the assertion is that there exists, and not for all.

A simpler isomorphism of the same thing is proof by analogy.

A level of indirection:
p: "This sentence is true", which is exactly the same as "p is true" since "this sentence" IS p

p := True(L,p)
specifies True(True(True(True(True(...)))))
*Prolog sees the same infinite recursion and rejects it*
?- TT = true(TT).
TT = true(TT).
?- unify_with_occurs_check(TT, true(TT)).
false.
