Indirect self-reference

Indirect self-reference occurs when a statement refers to itself in a way that is not straightforward or explicit. This can happen through indirect means, such as using another statement or context that implies self-reference without directly stating it. For example, consider the phrase "This sentence is false." This is a direct form of self-reference. In contrast, an example of indirect self-reference could be a statement that refers to concepts or ideas related to itself rather than naming itself directly.
