You have been very patient. Your text certainly provides the indent, however I see that each "paragraph" is in fact made of standard lines.
I have modified your text to introduce Tex paragraphs - please see the attached file. The purpose of this is to permit me to vary the spacing between paragraphs. With this modification, the indentation disappears.
LyX's "Standard" are normal paragraphs. Every Enter produces a new one.
If you want indented, spaced paragraphs, set Layout->Document->Layout->Separation to "Skip" and write this line to the preamble
\setlength{\parindent}{1.2cm}
I attached an example lyx-file.
This is great, thanks very much.
In your document you use the AMS article class. I don't know what the special paragraph environment does, but AMS is a math class, and in math you normally don't need paragraphs. So possibly AMS needs paragraphs to be set in this special environment. In all other documents one uses "standard".
The document I am starting on is basically text, with a little math and some Python code.

Thanks for all your help.
