Hi David,
Could you point me to some papers on this? (both yours and
Reshtikhin/Turaev) I'm particularly interested in the "early" history
of string diagrams (i.e. between Penrose 71 and J&S 91) and
diagrammatic notation in general.
Best,
Aleks

I'm pleased to see the items quoted from Coecke include "string diagrams" as they are now called.
Although they occur first in Kelly and Laplaza's paper on coherence for compact closed categories, and again
in Street's work with Joyal in the mid-80's, I think I was the first person to use them, in public at least, in the form
with "coupons" (to borrow the term Reshtikhin and Turaev used a few months later) to represent maps
which aren't inherent in the (braided or symmetric compact closed) monoidal structure.
Best Thoughts,
David Y.
