Well it is plausible, if not mandatory, if we assume reality itself to be structured. Then through simply perceiving it would be uniquely connected to structures/(Aspects of reality). But that's just technically, not effectively, which I presume is what you are trying to say. That they don't effectively build systems. Ok, with an introvert function you have to necessarily be aware of all the interconnections between things, because they are observing fields, which is another name for interconnections between things, and these interconnections form a system. In essence introvert functions are working *in* a system so it is quite necessary that systems and structure are associated with them and are what they produce. You can only explain interconnections through a system.
For Si this is the system of how things work/complement each other concretely. This goes with his, that doesn't go with that, put that bracket there, Why? Because it complements the other parts, and so on. Like smilingeyes said, after filing tax payment for years you get a feel for what needs to be done, for how to do it. That's a Si system. When you just know what need to be done and how.
IMO that is. I'm not entirely sure if this is true. But it's my current understanding of it.
