A symbolic language allowing to solve statistical problems for the systems with nonabelian braid-like topology in 2+1 dimensions is developed. The approach is based on the similarity between growing braid and ‘heap of colored pieces’. As an application, the problem of a vortex glass transition in high-T_c superconductors is re-examined on microscopic level
