It sounds like very poor typography, but I am simply looking to shift a wrapfig picture up, but in particular so it would ever so slightly go above the start of the paragraph and into the subsection line. See the attached picture below.

I provide an MWE for the picture and surrounding text (I have simply copied a load of bits from my preamble of my larger document! Apologies for the useless parts in there!).
I expect nothing in my preamble will interrupt this. I have tried putting vspace in both the wrap figure, the tikzpicture and before the entire figure in braces. Even with the abnormal vspace{-25cm}, it seems to only take the picture up to the very start of the paragraph and section - I want to slightly break this bounding box. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

The easiest to move a wrapfig up is to change intextsep, as it is used also at the bottom, you must insert a rule there to compensate. The drawback is that it moves the text at the side down. One can use vspace{-2cm} there to compensate.

We have described the spinor-helicity formalism as a natural way to encode massless scattering amplitudes. However, we have to impose momentum conservation by hand, since spinor-helicity is derived from a Lorentz invariant foundation, which can be thought of as a subgroup of Poincar'e invariance. The 10-dimensional Poincar'e group includes translations (3 spatial and 1 time) as well as the 6-dimensional Lorentz group, consisting of 3 boosts and 3 rotations. Hence, spinor variables are not invariant under spatial translations, and momentum is not automatically conserved footnotemark.

Since all scattering processes naturally conserve momentum, we would like to have a formalism where both the on-shell massless condition, $p^2 =0$ and momentum conservation, $sum p^{mu} = 0$ are manifest. This comes in the form of momentum twistors, developed by Hodges as an extension of Penrose's twistor geometry.

We take inspiration by considering a different geometrical interpretation of momentum conservation. We start by drawing an $n$-sided polygon in dual space, as shown by Figure ref{fig:Diagram_Mom_Con}.

There are two ways to consider defining the polygon; either through the edges or the vertices. Considering the edges, we obtain the traditional statement of momentum conservation; the $n$ edges form a closed contour, which corresponds to the net sum of momenta equalling zero, and no new intuition has been obtained.

par

Let us now define the polygon through the vertices, using a new set of dual coordinates $x_i$ where $i={ 1,dots,n}$. To ensure our contour is closed, we demand the periodic boundary $x_{0} equiv x_{n}$. The momenta in dual space may now be defined as the difference of these dual coordinates

Another possiblity is to use a raisebox and to hide the height from the wrapfig. You must then also set the baseline of the tikzpicture to the north.
