And thus, When True(L, p) established a sequence of truth preserving operations eminationg from ~True(L, p) by returning false, it contradicts itself. The problem is that True, in making an answer of false, has asserted that such a sequence exists.

The Liar Paradox and your formalized Liar Paradox both

So, for a statement x to be false, it says that there must be a sequence of truth perserving operations that derive ~x from, right?

Yes we must build from mutual agreement, good.

So do you still say that for p defined in L as ~True(L, p) that your definition will say that True(L, p) will return false?

Nope, Because "This sentece is not true" can be a non-truth-bearer, but by its definition, True(L, x) can not.

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

Another name for the meaning of y. Therefore any pair of sentences that

of equally true sentences. For example, if p defined as ~True(L, ⟨p⟩)

Right, so since p is DEFINED to be ~True(L, p), which since True(L, p) is false, must be true, that means that you are claiming that
T(L, <a statement that has been shown to be true>) is false.

Thus your True predicat is just broken.

But it isn't.

 By the usual rules a definition of a symbol in terms of itself is not
an acceptable definition.
 

One can either reject it as a syntax error or let it go ahead
and infinitely expand and reject it as a semantic error. Or
one can reject is as a self-contradictory epistemological antinomy
having no truth value thus a type mismatch error for any formal
system of bivalent logic.
Most of the greatest experts in the field are not even sure
that there is anything wrong with it.
