What do you think the indicator is? Can you give me a definition?
Indicator (from Latin indico - reflect) - a device for visual (visual) display of information. It is designed to display measurement data and calculations.
Accordingly, if the calculations are predictive, then the indicator will show the forecast. Whether it is correct or not is irrelevant in the context of this discussion.

If you don't display MA on the screen, but use it in your EA code, then it automatically ceases to be an indicator?)

The advisor has no eyes. It does not 'see' a single indicator. Don't judge with human abstractions.
did I write that the EA "sees" the indicator?) (programmer by training)
Then why did they say to embed the calculation part of the indicator in the EA? Is it confusing? It will be an indicator inside the Expert Advisor as well. It will be an indicator inside the Expert Advisor. But the indicator will be in the form of a function. It doesn't matter where the EA will receive the indicator data - from external EA, a file, something else, from its own function that repeats the calculation of the indicator. The essence is the same - it is the indicator whose data is used by the Expert Advisor.
So look at the definition of an automaton I wrote this post on. He wrote that an indicator is a display of information, and now you write that if you don't display it, it is still an indicator)) So the key is not that it displays, the definition is wrong ;)
So how does this definition contradict the fact that these are all indicators https://www.mql5.com/ru/code/mt5/indicators
There are many of them and they are different. But they are all indicators. Among them, there are some that display forecasts or use forecasting algorithms in their own right.... but regardless of that, they were indicators and they still are.

The indicator remains an indicator (the MAHA in this case). The Expert Advisor uses the results of calculations performed by the indicator. And you don't have to display the МАшашаka on the screen at all for the Expert Advisor to be able to use the calculated values of the indicator.
By the way, the term "Expert Advisor" is not a good one.
