[Brain Teaser/Puzzle] simulate the brain

So I tried to do this myself in VisualBasic.NET and realized how much a stupidly large task it is, I'm not expecting to get anywhere or finish it ever, I understand this may be impossible but it's not gonna stop me :D

 

so this attempt will be done in an office program of your choice (likely ms excel)

Here is the challenge

 

NOTES

I am dumbing this down because it should be able to be expanded up easily, I just need to get a working system.

Please do not spend hours on this, I am busy with a job and at uni and all, there is a large chance I may never do anything with this

This should be treated more of a thinking challenge/puzzle than a task or call for help

Apologies for the spelling, I simply am too lazy

 

INTRO (I understand this may be wrong, but it's what I am trying to do. I am only trying to link this to the brain if my links are wrong I apologize) 

So basically we have 5 (or however many) senses, they input information into a brain, which goes into short term memory (later long term, however, this challenge will focus on short only)

I will be pretending these 5 inputs can be addressed in the range A00-A99 for something like sight, B00-B99 for something like hearing.

The brain can take a certain collection of sensory inputs and store them, and it can work out where

Each combination of (let's pretend 5) senses already has a location in the brain, in other words it NEVER has to calculate where to store information

This is the key part of what I am trying to do, 5inputs eg INPUT=(A33,B84,C39,D04,E33) and I want to be able to calculate the position in which to store something, for example that information may represent a picture and noise that a cat makes, store these details, linking the 5 inputs together, thus kind of defining what a cat is.

 

Points

Whatever you choose ( I am trying to do it in excel), given 5 inputs INPUT=(A33,B84,C39, D04,E33) in absolutely ANY order should lead to the same information, eg you can give the inputs INPUT=(A33,B84,C39, D04,E33), then store information, then use INPUT=(C39, D04, E33, B84,A33) to find the SAME information

One of the most important requirements is no "picking a place" to store data, no movement of data. It should be in a place because the senses linked them

 

Summing up

5 inputs, one location to store data, ALWAYS the same location, with zero overlap eg no two combinations of data should lead to EXACTLY the same box, however, if you input 4 of the 5 inputs you are allowed to overlap.

 

I am not expecting full working solutions, basically just ideas

one of the ideas I have is to have each excel cell contain a virtual cube,  hence the x and y axis of the excel sheet are for senses A and B, and the three dimensions of this "virtual cube" are for C, D and E, you then store the data inside the virtual cube inside a cell.
