But obviously sometimes sentences are
decidable, and sometimes not. Since
this depends on "True" and "L".

Actually modern logic does it much simpler,
you don't need to prescribe or explain what
a "True" and "L" does, in that you repeat

nonsense like for example:

 > A truth maker is any sequence of truth preserving operations
 > that links an expression x of language L to its semantic meaning
 > in language L. The lack of such a connection in L to x or ~x
 > means that x is not a truth-bearer in L.

Its much much easier to define a "logic".
You just take a language of sentences S.
And define a "logic" L as a subset of S.

You can imagine that L was defined as follows:

L := { A e S | True(L, A) }

But this is not necessarely the case how L is
conceived, or how L comes into being.

So a logic L is just a set of sentences. You
don't need the notion truth maker or truth bearer
at all, all you need to say you have some L ⊆ S.

You can then study such L's. For example:
- classical logic
- intuitionistic logic
- etc..
