Don't see much or don't see any? If you see that one is a statement about what's currently happening in the game's fiction, and the other is a statement about what the player hopes will happen in the game's fiction soon, you see the distinction that matters.

I don't see any distinction.

Iana of the Family Lark doesn't start up the tower on her own. A player has to say that she does and the other players have to accept it. Similarly, the tower isn't made of climbable stone on its own. A player has to say that it is and the other players have to accept it.

Character is just one vehicle by which players Explore the SIS. There are also Setting, Situation, etc. I feel like IIEE should apply equally to all of them. IIEE is just Resolution for Exploration/SIS.

I'm happy to acknowledge that maybe IIEE traditionally means something more specific. If it's just a definitional thing, I'm okay with that.

My mind needs more brainfood before it will accept that the steps implied by IIEE, stripped of Character stuff, don't apply just as well to the elements of Exploration.
