the strategy encodes the Campbell–Shiller insight that high dividend/“carry” yields relative to price predict higher future returns, wraps that valuation in a z-scored
????????????, and lets a linear neural unit blend it with momentum/volatility states to produce directional edge; trades are taken when the learned edge clears a small threshold.
