Abstract
For the purposes of a combinatorial perspective on Feynman graphs , the most appropriate way to set up the graphs will not have the edges or the vertices as the fundamental bits, but rather will be based on half edges .

To make this precise we’d need to move into matroids. Much of what we do with Feynman graphs works very naturally with regular matroids and even some more general matroids, but that’s another story.
