Given the type ILE NeTi as an example, if it is split between Leading and Creating, NeNiFeFi (NF club, Internal ) is on one side and SeSiTeTi(ST club, External) is on the other.
Following Jung's fundamental principle of psychological function opposition, differentiation between Leading and Creating function subtypes effectively equates to Club subtypings, which is also poled on the Inert-Contact function dichotomy. Below is the full layout of Inert and Contact subtypes.

The functional divide found between Inert-Contact(1,4,6,7
-2,3,5,8) equates to the dichotomous quaternions (small groups) of:
Irrational + Positivist + Asking = ENTp - INFp - ESFp - ISTp
Irrational + Negativist + Declaring = ISFp - ESTp - INTp - ENFp
Rational + Positivist + Declaring = ESFj - ISTj - ENTj - INFj
Rational + Negativist + Asking = INTj - ENFj - ISFj - ESTj
So if Inert/Contact is valid as a subtype system, type simulation is expressed through these groupings.

This article by Meged-Ovcharov lays out the groundwork for study into Vertical/Inert-Contact subtypes. Only ENFp is used as an example, but the article still provides some practical insight.

This article mentions type imitation within the Benefit rings which has some relevance to the overall concept of type similarity.

Socionist Victor Gulenko explores the idea of type similarity through the "Instrumental" or Contact functions.

Gulenko expands on the notion of type imitation and similarity, this time taking the dichotomous approach which deals with Asking/Declaring+Rational/Irrational+Positivist/Negativist, paralleling the functional approach.

These posts by labcoat take a more analytic approach to the oscillatory bonds of type simulation, identifying a new set of embedded functions/elements.
