  A simple microscopic principle of `Valence bond (nearest neighbor singlet)
amplitude maximization '(VBAM) is shown to be present in undoped and optimally
doped cuprates and unify the very different orderings such as
antiferromagnetism in the Mott insulator and the robust superconductivity
accompanied by an enhanced charge and stripe correlations in the optimally
doped cuprates. VBAM is nearly synonymous with the energy minimization
principle. It is implicit in the RVB theory and thereby makes the predictions
of RVB mean field theory of superconductivity qualitatively correct.
