Abstract: Thurston introduced $s{i}_d$-invariant laminations (where $s{i}_d(z)$ coincides with $z^d:ucircoucirc$, $dge2$). He defined emph{wandering $k$-gons} as sets $Tsubsetucirc$ such that $s{i}_d^n(T)$ consists of $kge3$ distinct points for all $nge0$ and the convex hulls of all the sets $s{i}_d^n(T)$ in the plane are pairwise disjoint. Thurston proved that $s{i}_2$ has no wandering $k$-gons and posed the problem of their existence for $s{i}_d$,, $dge3$. Call a lamination with wandering $k$-gons a emph{WT-lamination}. Denote the set of cubic critical portraits by $A_3$. A critical portrait, compatible with a WT-lamination, is called a emph{WT-critical portrait}; let $W{T}_3$ be the set of all of them. It was recently shown by the authors that cubic WT-laminations exist and cubic WT-critical portraits, defining polynomials with emph{condense} orbits of vertices of order three in their dendritic Julia sets, are dense and locally uncountable in $A_3$ ($DsubsetX$ is emph{condense in $X$} if $D$ intersects every subcontinuum of $X$). Here we show that $W{T}_3$ is a dense first category subset of $A_3$. We also show that (a) critical portraits, whose laminations have a condense orbit in the topological Julia set, form a residual subset of $A_3$, (b) the existence of a condense orbit in the Julia set $J$ implies that $J$ is locally connected.
