Actually, in standard quantum mechanics, there is an infinity of
observer moments, 2^{\aleph_0} of them in fact.
What you are talking about are various quantum gravity theories, such
as string theory, which appear to have a finite number of observer
moments.
However, even if as observers we are

Whether or not this is the case, it is a secondary issue to my question
re *survivability* (call this the Quantum Theory of Enhanced Personal
Survivability, or QTEPS)
QTI in the way defined in this list contradicts quantum mechanics. The
observable part of the universe can only be in a finite number of quantum
states. So, it can only harbor a finite number of observer moments or
experiences a person can have, see here for details:
