can be explained by looking up the "rule of the right hand" . It is a basic rule in physics, but normally is covered only in a paragraph or two by most physics texts. As such, most of us study it and promptly forget about it after the chapter test is over. It's covered by Wikipedia, BTW.
The rule is simple: current flowing along, say, your right thumb generates a magnetic field which curls like the fingers of your right hand
The twist of the interlaced cables is sort of self inducing when wound in the proper orientation. You see this in the High Wire Power wraps.
Wound in the reverse (left hand thread) direction it actually slows down the signal. It's easy to remember the prefered winding direction, simply look at your standard screw threads: that's the pattern you should wind any two wires. The natural tendency, if you're righthanded like myself, is to wind the other way.
You can split twin lead cables and wind and hear the difference. Quite a difference even with something like Monster Cable. The same applies to woven cables like Kimber. Use the leads curving in the right hand thread direction for the positive and the cable sounds "faster" with more zip.
YMMV
