What Versions of the Apache Sling Specification Do AEM 6.3 and 6.4 Implement?

Can someone please tell me what version of the Sling specification AEM implements, and how we can look this up for each version of AEM?  I'm not looking for a list of Sling-related bundle versions in the web console, but rather the single, general Sling specification version.  Sling is currently at version 10.  I saw a stackoverflow post that says AEM 6.3 implements Sling 9, but don't know how to confirm this.

Thanks for your help.

The answer we were looking for was a combination of what arunp99088702​ and dan.klco​ (and others) said below.

AEM provides components that might closely match a Sling API version, but those components are updated over time and details change.  It's not an "All Sling 9" or "All Sling 10" implementation.

However, just to get an idea of which versions of the Sling API that different versions of AEM most closely match (at least at a certain point in time), look here:

Again, thanks all.  Your posts below helped clarify things a lot.

smacdonald2008​ thanks for your reply, but that is the same link I was referring to in my original post--it doesn't answer the question.  Next time I'll be sure to include any external links so they're not referenced in replies.

Somebody from Adobe must know the answer to this seemingly simple question, or at least be able to find out from an Adobe architect.  Just need to know what version of the Sling API specification that AEM implements for versions 6.3 and 6.4.  Sorry if I sound frustrated, but this should be super easy to find out and it's not.  If these forums aren't the appropriate place to ask, I just need to know where I should direct my question.  Thanks again.
