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.
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?
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?
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!

Addition Details: I'm studying architecture in highschool, so I do have some skills in building design and sorts. I can be quiet at some times, and I have to rush to help my family at sometimes, as my mom is sick and I should help around the house. I usually have something to do in Minecraft, so I can supply with things we could do whilst in the game.

Input -> NOT gate -> -Input, right? Like in arithmetic. . . + * - = - and - * - = +.
It is considered to be negation.

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