This gives more of a physical development, and frames the context of the lego-like language in the cross-disciplinary field of quantum information
There's a history from the introduction of Tensor networks by Penrose to the 3D tensor networks, the quon language: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78485948/PNAS-2017-Biamo...
Here, you'll find discussion on the development of the picture-language and some application, i.e., topological design of protocols (by Jaffe, Liu, and Wozniakowski): https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.06447
If you want an intermediary between the linked Lego story and the quon paper in PNAS, then check out the commentary (in PNAS): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78485948/PNAS-2017-Biamo...
