Level 3 - He thinks you put him on Level 2 image, so he asks you to fold to make you follow Level 2 statement to fold. You should do the opposite: You Call
Level 4 - He thinks you put him on Level 3 image. You do the opposite of it: You Fold

Odd Levels: You call
Even Levels: You fold
I was curious what people thought about this. In my Verbal Poker Tells book, I did it a little differently, and talked about Level 0 being honesty, and Level 1 being the first deceptive level (weak means strong, strong means weak), and so on. So it started with 0 being honest and continued from there.
I struggled it with for a while, actually, because I couldn't find a definitive, accepted way to number those categories/definitions. I was curious if anyone thought one way was better (or more widely accepted) than the other and why.
