There are many “paradoxical sets” of reals that can be obtained using a well-ordering of the reals or using a non-principal ultrafilter on ℕ, both consequences of the Axiom of Choice. In ZF, can we recover the well-ordering of the reals or the ultrafilter on ℕ from the existence of a given paradoxical set? Under certain amalgamation conditions, we give some negative answers to this question.
