That seems a bit circular.

Why is it circular?

Kind of depends on what you mean by "experienced physics of the observer". Does that mean experience of the classical world or does it include the physics of QM which is inferred by the observer but not directly experienced.  If the former, supervenience might well fail, while still holding for the latter.
