We introduce a binary matroid M(IAS(G)) associated with a looped simple graph
G. M(IAS(G)) classifies G up to local equivalence, and determines the
delta-matroid and isotropic system associated with G. Moreover, a parametrized
form of its Tutte polynomial yields the interlace polynomials of G.Comment: This article supersedes arXiv:1301.0293. v2: 26 pages, 2 figures. v3
