We begin with an $$E_{8}\times E_{8}$$ Heterotic model broken to an $$SU(5)_{gauge}$$ and a mirror $$SU(5)_{gauge}$$, where one $SU(5)$ and its spectrum is identified as the visible sector while the other can be identified as a hidden mirror world. In both cases we obtain the minimal supersymmetric standard model spectrum after Wilson-line symmetry-breaking enhanced by a low energy R-parity enforced by a local (or global) $$U(1)_{X}$$-symmetry. Using Heterotic/$$F$$-theory duality, we show how to eliminate the vector-like exotics which were obtained in previous constructions. In these constructions, the Calabi-Yau {[}CY{]} four-fold was defined by an elliptic fibration with section over a base $$B_{3}$ and a GUT surface given by $$K3/\mathbb{Z}_{2}=$$ Enriques surface. In the present paper we construct a quotient CY four-fold fibered by tori with two elliptic structures given by a a pair of sections fibered over the Enriques surface. Using Heterotic/$$F$$-theory duality we are able to define the cohomologies used to derive the massless spectrum.
Our model for the 'correct' $$F$$-theory dual of a Heterotic model with Wilson-line symmetry-breaking builds on prior literature but employs the stack-theoretic version of the dictionary between the Heterotic semi-stable $$E_{8}$$-bundles with Yang-Mills connection and the $$dP_{9}$$-fibrations used to construct the $$F$$-theory dual.
