The information is the same as the object when the object itself was all made up of information in the first place.

The expression "rez" comes from the old science fiction novel Tron from the 1980s, where there was a concept of a grid and things appearing on it, so evidently it comes from the word "to resolve" as in "to come into view" I believe -- but others might know better. 

I don't know why they didn't use the word "instantiate," perhaps because it isn't an instance but a resolution.
