Magnification in a 2D-slice of the four dimensional cubic parameter space using the standard parameterizing z -> z^3 - 3a^2 z + b, critical points z = +a (making the set M+) and z = -a (making the set M-).

*a_real = 0
*a_imag = 0.91
*b_real = #pixel (horizontal)
*b_imag = #pixel (vertical)

Both M+ and M- plotted, each one in separate layers. The outer Mandelbrot structures belongs to M- the inner Julia-like “Kundalini-structures” belongs to both M+ and M- and are thus a part of cubic connectedness locus.

No filters or post processing.
