Why does this happen? Could someone explain to me in detail how this works or show a diagram of the current transfer going on here? I'm really interested in the technicalities of this type of thing. . .
Is the block above the torch powering the wire? If so, why isn't the un-powered wire getting power from the block below it? Doesn't the torch power blocks next to it as well? Can anyone explain? Many thanks!

It's programmed. . . What way? What's stopping the power from going from the torch to the block to the wire above it? Can blocks not power things from underneath?

A torch only powers redstone wire directly around it or below it. And also a solid block above it. That block will become powered, and transmit power to anything around it, which, in this case, is a piece of wire.
In your first case, the wire was diagonally up the torch, thus not directly adjacent.
A torch powers redstone wire below it? I don't see that happening. . .
I guess my problem lies in my understanding of redstone wire. . . Is it considered to be a block itself, or part of the block it is on?

A wire is always the block on top of the block it's placed on. A redstone torch needs to be adjacent to that level, so 1 higher than the block on which the wire is resting.
Also, a torch placed on the side of a block powers redstone wire below it.
Hmm. . . Thanks a lot. It's starting to make sense.
The wiki is just a tiny bit confusing to me, but I guess I'll read slowly and try my best.

Why doesn't the redstone torch give power to block next to it then power the wire above it?
