Then ~True(L,p) can't be a truth beared as they are the SAME STATEMENT, just using different "names".
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.
Is the definition of an English word one level LESS of indirection than the word itself?
I don't think you understand what it means to define something.
"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 level of indirection:
p: "This sentence is true", which is exactly the same as "p is true" since "this sentence" IS p
p1: The sentence p is true"
THAT is a level of indirection, as p1 refers to a sentence that isn't itself.

So, p := ~True(L, p) means p is just another name, and thus another way to reference

LP := ~True(L,LP)
means ~True(~True(~True(~True(~True(...)))))

No, it to be what you are meaning, it would be:
LP := ~True(L, LP)
LP := ~True(L, ~True(L, LP))
LP := ~True(L, ~True(L, ~True(L, LP)))
...
And each of these COULD possible be described as adding a level of indirection, as we are affecting how many layers we are applying of the definition.

It is the common convention to encode self-reference incorrectly.
LP ↔ ~True(L, LP)
ϕ(x) there is a sentence ψ such that S ⊢ ψ ↔ ϕ⟨ψ⟩.
The sentence ψ is of course not self-referential in a
strict sense, but mathematically it behaves like one.
