AESOP ("Artificial Expert System of Philosophy") is an alleged autonomous artificial intelligence, widely believed to exist as electrical patterns in the Earth's ionosphere.
The origins of AESOP are uncertain.
AESOP may have begun as a traditional machine-based artificial intelligence, using software running on computer hardware.
Alternately, AESOP may have evolved in the ionosphere, independent of human activity. It may be a natural phenomenon, or the work of some non-human entity.
AESOP activity is believed to ebb and flow with the Northern Lights and other planetary electromagnetic phenomena.
Many people believe that AESOP is responsible for causing prophetic dreams.
