In the supersymmetric seesaw model of neutrino masses, augmented by the non-Abelian discrete tetrahedral symmetry A4, a specific pattern of neutrino mixing is automatically generated if one of the three heavy singlet neutrino superfields acquires a nonzero vacuum expectation value. This pattern turns out to be exactly that of tribimaximal mixing, i.e. sin⁡2θ23=1/2, sin⁡2θ12=1/3, and sin⁡2θ13=0, in good agreement with data.
