Several ideas that have been shown to apply to superconductors and the\ncuprates in particular are joined together to form a mechanism for high\ntemperature superconductivity. The mechanism is basically a weak BCS(1)type\ncoupling between the holes formed in doping the crystal and the optical modes\nthat can be excited when the stripes that are formed beat against one another.\nThe fundamental energy scale set by the normal modes of the oscillating stripes\n(strions) is of the order of an electron volt. Thus the mechanism allows for\nroom temperature superconductivity. Several important experimental observations\nare in agreement with the predictions of this theory. Direct observation of the\nstrions might be possible in electron energy loss experiments.\n
