Ne/Si & Ni/Se ---
Ne is more similar to Se, and Ni more similar to Si.
Ni and Si are mapping/anchoring functions.
Ne and Se are exploration functions.
If we wanna use a metaphor: One holds the map, the other goes indiana jones style into new territory.
And they can't be described well without one another, so indeed they work in tandem.
What that means, practically, is that Ni has a mental spider web of intangible patterns which govern the causality of the universe. Se uses this map to travel through the present tangibly, sensationally, and each literal experience undertaken is transformed into an abstract and stored into the intangible paradigm - broadening the person's understanding. Si has a mental paradigm of tangible correlations which dictate the laws of the world. Specifics like what times things occur, in what sequence and due to what events. Ne uses this solid map to quest through the present, intangibly and imaginatively, using concretes as anchor points from which to being a new exploration and expand the map.
A note about the difference of these maps:
The Ni map operates more like Fractal Art. It converts a pattern into a formula, and multiplies it at infinitum to fill in the gaps of unknown territory. The Si map operates more like a Matrix. It fills in it's map like a collection of independent experiences. The experiences are not connected via a formula like Ni's map. They are simply all catalogued into a matrix. It is Ne that does the connecting of Si's map. Ne takes that matrix of experiences and dabbles with the data to form cross-contextualizations. Those connections weave the paradigm together. For Se, it needs not do what Ne does because the connections are already made, it merely flows within those connections, those fractal-tangents, in the real world. And doing so allows Ni the opportunity to view reality to identify more governing formulas.
A note on the Why of the pairings:
The Ni map would be disturbed by Ne's process since it is non-synthesizing. Having Ne and Ni would make both useless. Ni needs the concrete exploration of Se in order to extract it's formulas. And Ne needs some concrete lego blocks to create new connections. Ne cannot use Ni's data because it's abstract like itself. A fire cannot burn from a fire, it has to burn from the coals. And vice versa: two coals are useless if they don't create fire. There would be no point in Se exploring Si's map because it is already known. Ne is the one who needs to hold the finite Si map and identify, at infinitum, the places where more exploring is necessary.
To put it differently, a line cannot be made from one point. And an association (the basis for abstraction) cannot be made without two or more tactile points of data. This is why it's not possible to have both Ne and Ni, and no S functions.

- NiSe holds an abstracted map, but does literal exploration.
- SiNe holds a literal map, but does abstract exploration.
