Abstract
In recent years, there is a widespread discussion on the concept of ontic realism, which is a kind of structuralism with an ontological focus. The main thesis of this trend is that when a scientific theory is changed, the structure of connections and relations among objects is a more stable substance than the objects themselves. The aim of the article is to introduce a concept that can serve as a counterexample to this thesis, since the concept of entropy, which retains a nearly constant meaning, was included in the structure of scientific theories in quite different ways.
