The triboelectric effect is the phenomenon of generating static charge by friction of dissimilar materials. See the link.
Cables are insulated, and the materials used for insulation may also exhibit strong triboelectric effects. This is the reason some give for the observed benefit of lifting speaker cables from, say, Nylon carpets.
This is one of many physical phenomena not included in L, C, or R measurements. In general, L/C/R measurements are limited to very small ranges of voltage or frequency by the measuring instruments, and are not performed in settings that resemble typical cable applications.
I think a fair restatement of your question would be why audible differences caused by changes in cable construction cannot be explained by Maxwell's Equations. I think they can be, if the investigators take the trouble to include all the relevant details.
