Derez

From Tron Wiki, also known as "Tronpedia", working on 184 articles

Derez (etymology from Deresolution) is a term to describe someone or something disappearing or dissolving. For programs, derezzing is death. It is unknown if derezzing is permanent or not, but it seems that it is unchangeable. In the game, Tron 2.0, humans seemingly regain consciousness and appear weak/disoriented if they are derezzed out of the digital world. How the "re-resolution" takes place is not shown. Keep in mind, that the game is not considered canon.

According to the New Hackers Dictionary:

“

de-rezz /dee-rez'/: [from `de-resolve' via the movie "Tron"] (also `derez') 1. /vi./ To disappear or dissolve; the image that goes with it is of an object breaking up into raster lines and static and then dissolving. Occasionally used of a person who seems to have suddenly `fuzzed out' mentally rather than physically. Usage: extremely silly, also rare. This verb was actually invented as fictional hacker jargon, and adopted in a spirit of irony by real hackers years after the fact. 2. /vt./ The Macintosh resource decompiler. On a Macintosh, many program structures (including the code itself) are managed in small segments of the program file known as `resources'; `Rez' and `DeRez' are a pair of utilities for compiling and decompiling resource files. Thus, decompiling a resource is `derezzing'. Usage: very common.

”

The opposite of derez is Rez.
