I've got some post and tube wiring in my house, and I was told that if I
upgrade the electrical system at all, I have to rewire everything to
current code standards.

The only way to avoid that requirement, AIUI, is to paint arrows
indicating the direction of electrical flow on the old wires, every six
inches, with Testor's plastic model cement, in Chevy Orange.

The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out whether to paint those
arrows using the electron flow version of circuit theory, or
conventional current. Anyone familiar with the NEC on that issue?

Assuming it's AC, maybe the arrows will need to be animated. :-)

Yeah, posting fake code questions is much better than trying to
actually interpret the code.

Mock what you don't understand.

So you spotted it as a fake right off, huh, even cleverly woven in
subtlety as it was? Nice work.

I think to be sure you should use arrows with heads on both ends.

I've always heard it called "knob and tube wiring".
The NEC code requires a "~" sine wave symbol on
the hot wire and "@" drain symbol on the cold wire.
There is also a symbol that looks like the Swiss
flag for the neutral wire. There is another sticker that
looks like our planet Earth for the ground/earth wire.

S2:

Clearly you are not one of the Inner Circle, or you would realize that
we only made up all that electric-current stuff to delude the masses.
Light bulbs actually contain specially trained fireflies, who wake up
when they hear the switch click. Quiet switches were developed
when advancing technology allowed manufacturers to raise the
frequency of the wake-up tone past the range of human hearing.

"Electrocution" is actually a strong, often fatal, psychosomatic
reaction to the touching of a "current-carrying" conductor. That's
how well we have people trained. Some professionals are so
thoroughly brainwashed as to spontaneously combust when
contacting a "high-voltage" conductor. The power of the mind is
astonishing.

Just last night at dinner someone told me that "The power of the mind
is greater than the body". And I replied "Not my mind".
