description Motivated by the principles of the conformal bootstrap, primarily the principle of Locality, simultaneously with the requirement of space-time supersymmetry, we reconsider constructions of compactified superstring models. Starting from requirements of space-time supersymmetry and mutual locality, we construct a complete set of physical fields of orbifolds of Gepner models. To technically implement this, we use spectral flow generators to construct all physical fields from the chiral primary fields. The set of these spectral flow operators forms a so-called admissible group Gadm, which defines a given orbifold. The action of these operators produces a collection of physical fields consistent with the action of supersymmetry generators. The selection of mutually local fields from this collection is carried out using the mirror group Gadm⁎. The permutation of Gadm and Gadm⁎ replaces the original orbifold with a mirror one that satisfies the same conditions as the original one. This also implies that the resulting model is modular invariant.
