Usually the key aspect of an action of some X is that X itself carries an algebraic structure, such as being a group (or just a monoid) or being a ring or an associative algebra, which is also possessed by Y^Y and preserved by the curried action \widehat{act}. Note that if Y is any set then Y^Y is a monoid,

also see Lawvere, 1986

"Historically the notion of monoid (or of group in particular) was abstracted from the actions, a pivotally important abstraction since as soon as a particular action is constructed or noticed, the demands of learning, development, and use mutate it into: 1) other actions on the same object, 2) actions on other related objects, and 3) actions of related monoids.
