Investigating the emergence of entropy on different scales, we propose an "entropy structure" as a kind of master invariant for the entropy theory of topological dynamical systems. An entropy structure is a sequence of functions h(k) on the simplex of invariant measures which converges to the entropy function h and which falls into a distinguished equivalence class defined by a natural equivalence relation capturing the "type of nonuniformity in convergence". An entropy structure recovers several existing invariants, including the symbolic extension entropy h(sex) and the Misiurewicz parameter h*. Entropy theories of Misiurewicz, Katok, Brin-Katok, Newhouse, Romagnoli, Omstein-Weiss and others all yield candidate sequences (h(k)); we determine which of these exhibit the correct type of convergence and hence become entropy structures. One of the satisfactory sequences arises from a new treatment of entropy theory strictly in terms of continuous functions (in place of partitions or covers). The results allow the computation of symbolic extension entropy without reference to zero dimensional extensions. New light is shed on the property of asymptotic h-expansiveness.
