So I just noticed that the set of functions with a fixed point $$f(x_0)=x_0,$$ are closed under composition $$(f\circ g)(x):=g(f(x)),$$ and with $e(x)=x$, the inverible functions even seem to form a (non-commutative) group.
Then if one chooses another point $x_1$ and restricts the set to the functions which also have $x_1$ as a fixed point, then it is again closed and so on.
If I have one parameterized point (i.e. a curve, or even a couple of those), then solving $f_t(x(t))=x(t)$ for the families $f_t$ should give me morphisms between the functions for different values of $t$.
Are there general considerations regarding this?
And is this somehow related to the characterization of points of a manifold via the ideal of functions which evaluate to $0$ that point?
Edit 1: Might be just a general property of homeomorphisms or something, although I don't associating picking out isolated fixed points with these kind of things.
Edit 2: I now see that this might relate a translation/transformation of points in the manifold to a transformation of the function algebra over that manifold. This has some features: If you take two points $y_1$ and $y_2$ and transformations along the curves $Y_1(t),Y_2(t)$ with $Y_1(0)=y_1, Y_1(1)=y_2$ and $Y_2(0): =y_2, Y_2(1)=y_1$ (they move into each other), then the fuction set with both fixed points $Y_1(t),Y_2(t)$ makes a loop as $\{Y_1(0),Y_2(0)\}=\{Y_1(1),Y_2(1)\}=\{y_1,y_2\}$. The particular form of the curves have an impact on how the function set looks in between.
